    Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) is increasingly prevalent, affecting up to 37% of adults globally.

    The study identified three Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) trajectory patterns: low-stable, moderate-stable, and high-stable.

  • 3

    Participants in the high-stable AIP group had a 2.23-fold increased risk of developing MASLD compared to the low-stable group.

  • 4

    The moderate-stable AIP group also showed an increased risk of MASLD, with a hazard ratio of 1.42.

    Monitoring AIP trajectories may serve as a valuable tool for early identification and prevention of MASLD.
