    Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) encompasses simple hepatic steatosis and severe metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis.

  • 2

    Current diagnostic methods for MASLD rely heavily on invasive liver biopsy, highlighting the need for validated noninvasive biomarkers.

  • 3

    This study utilized data from 12,471 participants to identify biomarkers associated with hepatic steatosis and stiffness using machine learning techniques.

  • 4

    Random Forest models achieved 79.59% accuracy for predicting MASLD and 86.07% accuracy for hepatic fibrosis, identifying key biomarkers like age and BMI.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that a comprehensive assessment of various biomarkers can enhance early diagnosis and risk assessment for MASLD and hepatic fibrosis.
