Abstract

Introduction: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is highly prevalent among patients with metabolic cardiovascular risk factors. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of MASLD in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study conducted on 90 patients with MetS at the University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City from September 2023 to April 2024. MASLD was diagnosed based on the 2023 Delphi consensus criteria and MetS was diagnosed based on the criteria of  International Diabetes Federation 2006. Results: The study population had an average age of 49.35 ± 8.39 years, with 67.78% female, and an average BMI of 26.23 ± 2.79 kg/m². There were 68 MetS patients meeting the MASLD criteria, accounting for 68.9%. The MetS patients with MASLD had significantly higher BMI compared to those without MASLD (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of MASLD among MetS patients, especially in obese individuals, emphasizing the necessity of early screening and intervention to reduce the risk of progression to chronic liver diseases.
