Abstract
Recent updates in nomenclature and diagnostic criteria encompass the diverse phenotypes associated with steatotic liver disease (SLD).1 These updates aim to reflect the current understanding of SLD, promote disease awareness and research, and reduce stigma. Notably, the term metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is defined as hepatic steatosis with at least 1 of 5 cardiometabolic criteria without any other cause of steatosis. A new category, MetALD, includes those with MASLD and high alcohol intake.1 We aimed to characterize SLD using this nomenclature in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) and to quantify its association with cardiometabolic risk factors.
