摘　　要：BACKGROUND Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD)is a liver condition marked by excessive fat buildup in the absence of heavy alcohol use.It is primarily linked with metabolic issues like insulin resistance,obesity,and abnormal lipid levels,and is often observed with other conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.However,whether the subtypes of MAFLD based on the metabolic disorder differentially impact liver fibrosis is not well explicated,especially in the Asian population.AIM To compare the severity of liver fibrosis among different MAFLD subtypes.METHODS A total of 322 adult patients of either gender with fatty liver on ultrasound were enrolled between January to December 2021.MAFLD was defined as per the Asian Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines.Fibrosis-4 index(Fib-4)and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis score(NFS)were employed to evaluate liver fibrosis.RESULTS The mean age was 44.84±11 years.Seventy-two percent of the patients were female.Two hundred and seventy-three patients were classified as having MAFLD,of which 110(40.3%)carried a single,129(47.3%)had two,and 34(12.5%)had all three metabolic conditions.The cumulative number of metabolic conditions was related to elevated body mass index,triglyceride(TG)levels,and glycated hemoglobin,lower high-density lipoprotein(HDL)levels,higher liver inflammation(by aspartate aminotransferase andγ-glutamyl transferase),and higher likelihood of fibrosis(by NFS and Fib-4 scores)(P<0.05 for all).The proportion of advanced fibrosis also increased with an increase in the number of metabolic conditions(4.1%,25.5%,35.6%,and 44.1%by NFS and 6.1%,10.9%,17%,and 26.5%by Fib-4 for no MAFLD and MAFLD with 1,2,and 3 conditions,respectively).Among MAFLD patients,those with diabetes alone were the eldest and had the highest mean value of NFS score and Fib-4 score(P<0.05),while MAFLD patients diagnosed with lean metabolic dysfunction exhibited the highest levels of TG and alanine aminotransferase but the lowest HDL levels(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The study suggests that the severity of liver fibrosis in MAFLD patients is influenced by the number and type of metabolic conditions present.Early identification and management of MAFLD,particularly in patients with multiple metabolic conditions,are crucial to prevent liver-related complications. 关键词：Metabolic syndrome Diabetes Fatty liver disease DYSLIPIDEMIA Obesity
