Association of 'weekend warrior' and other physical activity patterns with mortality in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease: prospective national cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rapid life rhythms have seen an increased participation in the weekend warrior pattern, but its impact on mortality risk in adults with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is unclear. This investigation aims to explore the link between physical activity (PA) patterns, along with leisure-time and occupational physical activity (LTPA/OPA), as well as mortality in adults with MASLD.

Methods

This prospective cohort study employed data sourced from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), and mortality data were collected through December 31, 2019. PA was self-reported and divided into four classifications: inactive, insufficiently active, weekend warrior, along with regularly active.

Results

Among 13,831 MASLD part
