Estimated Body Fat Percentage and Triglyceride‐Glucose Index for Identifying MASLD in Lean Asian Adults: A Cross‐Sectional Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent among lean Asian populations, yet effective strategies for identifying high‐risk individuals remain limited. We investigated the associations of body fat percentage (BF%) and the triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index with lean MASLD and evaluated their ...

Cardiometabolic Biomarkers for Disease Severity Prediction in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impacts of cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs) and the biomarkers on disease severity in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) remain elusive. Accordingly, a multicenter study by recruiting MASLD patients from a nationwide registry database was conducted with a total of 2882 MASLD patients (54.1% males, mean age

Metabolic Syndrome and Dementia Risk in Older Adults: A Narrative Review

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dementia is a major global health issue in aging societies. Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of metabolic abnormalities, has been proposed as a modifiable risk factor for dementia, although existing evidence remains inconsistent. This review examined recent studies on the association between MetS and dementia risk in older adults.

Stage‐Dependent Prognostic Value of the Joint MASLD–NAFLD Fibrosis Score Phenotype Across the Cardiovascular–Kidney–Metabolic Syndrome Continuum: A Retrospective NHANES Cohort Analysis, 1999–2018

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cardiovascular–kidney–metabolic (CKM) framework and metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) describe a shared clinical continuum, but the prognostic value of joint fatty liver index (FLI)–NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) phenotypes across CKM stages is uncertain.
