Abstract Background/purpose: Metabolic dysfunction (MD)-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is new clearer nomenclature with positive diagnostic criteria on the basis of hepatic steatosis and MD, involving exclusion criteria for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 333,389 participants who received health examination between 2009 and 2010 from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database. Hepatic steatosis was defined using the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-derived NAFLD scoring system. Participants were followed over 5-6 years from the index date of health examination to 31 December 2015 for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The Cox proportional hazards regression was adopted to determine adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for CVD according to the presence of hepatic steatosis, MD, and MAFLD.Results: This study included 179,437 men and 153,952 women with a median age of 57 years. Hepatic steatosis with MD (aHR, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.89-2.13) and without MD (aHR, 1.30; 95% CI, 1.10-1.54) significantly increased the risk of CVD compared to no steatosis without MD (reference). However, steatosis revealed no significant difference in the risk of CVD compared to no steatosis among participants with one metabolic dysfunction (aHR, 1.09; 95% CI, 0.91-1.30). In participants with steatosis, the presence of one and ≥2 metabolic dysfunctions had aHR of 1.25 (95% CI, 0.87-1.79) and 1.71 (95% CI, 1.22-2.41) compared to no MD, respectively.Conclusion: MAFLD was significantly associated with increased CVD risk and had better predictive performance for CVD risk compared to hepatic steatosis or metabolic dysfunction alone.

Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) have important associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD). The main objective of this study was to compare the frequency of incidence rate of CVD in the NAFLD or MAFLD patients utilizing a large claims database. Methods Using the JMDC database from April 2013 to March 2019, we retrospectively analyzed data for 1,542,688 and 2,452,949 people to estimate the relationship between CVD and NAFLD, MAFLD, respectively. Results The incidence rates of CVD were 0.97 (95% CI 0.94–1.01) and 2.82 (95% CI 2.64–3.01) per 1000 person-years in the non-NAFLD and NAFLD groups, respectively, and 1.01 (95% CI 0.98–1.03) and 2.69 (95% CI 2.55–2.83) per 1000 person-years in the non-MAFLD and MAFLD groups, respectively. The overall prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) was 13.1, and 4.2%, respectively, in the non-NAFLD group and 63.6, and 20.2%, respectively, in the NAFLD group. The overall prevalenceof hypertriglyceridemia and DM was 13.6 and 4.3%, respectively, in the non-MAFLD group and 64.1, and 20.6%, respectively, in the MAFLD group. HRs for CVD increased with hypertriglyceridemia and DM. Conclusions Results indicated that incident rate of CVD increased with NAFLD/MAFLD; the complication rate of DM and hypertriglyceridemia among NAFLD/MAFLD patients is high and may affect the development of CVD.
