Dynamics of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors Are Linked to the Risk of Hypertension and Diabetes in MASLD.

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the impact of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) on the prevalence and incidence of hypertension (HTN) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and nonsteatotic liver disease (non-SLD), using both cross-sectional and longitudinal data. A total of 32,569 Taiwanese adults without viral hepatitis or significant alcohol consumption who underwent health checkups from 1999 to 2013 were analyzed cross-sectionally. Among them, 27,109 individuals free of HTN and DM at baseline and within 1 year of enrollment were followed longitudinally. Participants were classified into four groups based on hepatic steatosis assessed by ultrasound and presence of CMRF: healthy control (non-SLD/CMRF-), simple SLD (SLD/CM
