MAFLD: an ideal framework for understanding disease phenotype in individuals of normal weight.
The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is significant, impacting almost one-third of the global population. MAFLD constitutes a primary cause of end-stage liver disease, liver cancer and the need for liver transplantation. Moreover, it has a strong association with increased mortality rates due to various extrahepatic complications, notably cardiometabolic diseases. While MAFLD is typically correlated with obesity, not all individuals with obesity develop the disease and a significant percentage of MAFLD occurs in patients without obesity, termed lean MAFLD. The clinical features, progression and underlying physiological mechanisms of patients with lean MAFLD remain inadequately characterized. The present review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of current knowledge on lean MAFLD and offer a perspective on defining MAFLD in individuals with normal weight. Key to this process is the concept of metabolic health and flexibility, which links states of dysmetabolism to the development of lean MAFLD. This perspective offers a more nuanced understanding of MAFLD and its underlying mechanisms and highlights the importance of considering the broader metabolic context in which the disease occurs. It also bridges the knowledge gap and offers insights that can inform clinical practice.
