Abstract

INTRODUCTION: diabesity (coexistence of diabetes and obesity) and metabolic associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) are two very frequent pathologies whose prevalence is increasing every day. OBJECTIVE: to find out how these two pathological entities are associated in a group of Spanish workers. METHODOLOGY: a descriptive, cross-sectional study was carried out in 219477 workers to assess the association between diabesity (applying a double criterion, the body mass index BMI and the Clínica Universitaria de Navarra body adiposity estimator CUN BAE) and different risk scales for MASLD and liver fibrosis. RESULTS: all MASH and liver fibrosis risk scales show higher values in people with diabesity applying the two criteria compared to people without diabesity. CONCLUSION: diabesity and MASLD and liver fibrosis risk scales show a significant association in our study.
