Although there was a greater prevalence of ALD and MetALD among male study participants, females had a greater risk of mortality from both SLD phenotypes, highlighting a potentially greater impact of alcohol consumption on women with liver disease than men.
Screening for liver fibrosis was associated with sustained improvements in alcohol consumption, diet, weight, and exercise in individuals at risk of ALD and MASLD.
Specific interactions between binge drinking, genetic risk, and diabetes mellitus were found to significantly influence the risk of alcohol-related cirrhosis.
