Abstract
Objective
To assess the association between sociodemographic variables and lifestyle habits with the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) in Spanish healthcare workers.
Methods
A cross-sectional study including 44,939 healthcare workers. Sociodemographic variables (age, sex, occupation) and lifestyle habits (smoking, physical activity, adherence to the Mediterranean diet) were analyzed in relation to MASLD risk scores (FLI, HSI, LAP, ZJU, and FLD). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to identify significant associations.
Results
Higher risk score values were more prevalent in men and increased with age. Nursing assistants and orderlies had a higher risk compared to physicians. Physical inactivity (OR = 2.65; 95% CI: 2.47-2.84) and low adherence to the Mediterranean diet (OR = 1.89; 95% CI: 1.69-2.10) were associated with an increased risk of MASLD. Smoking was significantly related to higher risk scores (OR = 1.17; 95% CI: 1.13-1.21).
Conclusions
Age, sex, occupation, smoking, physical activity, and adherence to the Mediterranean diet influence MASLD risk. Preventive strategies should focus on promoting physical activity, improving dietary habits, and reducing smoking among healthcare workers.
