Article Abstract
Introduction: There may be inaccuracies in hepatic steatosis in past research assessing the relationship between bone metabolism and liver steatosis. The goal of the current research was to look at the associations between bone mineral density (BMD) and the hepatic steatosis and fibrosis as detected by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) in teenagers in the United States.
Methods: Weighted multiple linear regression models and smoothed curve fitting were used to investigate the association between BMD and the degree of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in adolescents.
Results: In 829 adolescents aged 12-19 years we found a negative association between total BMD and CAP (controlled attenuation parameter) [-32.46 (-58.98, -9.05)] and a significant positive association between lumbar BMD and LSM (liver stiffness measurement) [1.35 (0.19, 2.51)]. The inverted U-shaped relationships were founded between total BMD, lumbar BMD, pelvis BMD, and CAP with inflection points of 221.22 dB/m, 219.88 dB/m, and 216.02 dB/m, respectively.
Conclusions: In adolescents, higher BMD is significantly associated with lower levels of hepatic steatosis and higher levels of liver stiffness.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a rising health issue linked to poor diet and gut microbiota dysbiosis. The Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet, high in polyphenols and anti-inflammatory nutrients, may help protect against MASLD. This study examined how adherence to the MIND diet relates to MASLD severity, focusing on hepatic steatosis, fibrosis, insulin resistance, inflammation, and gut microbiota diversity.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) has emerged as a major contributor to systemic metabolic dysfunction and is increasingly recognized as a risk enhancer for both cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). This review explores the complex interconnections between MASLD, CVD, and CKD, with emphasis on shared pathophysiological mechanisms and the clinical implications for risk assessment and management. We describe the crosstalk among the liver, heart, and kidneys, focusing on insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and progressive fibrosis as key mediators.

Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is an indicator of high cardiovascular and metabolic risk. This study aimed to investigate the association between EAT thickness (EATT) and liver fibrosis and steatosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
Methods: Patients with T2DM and MASLD underwent a complex evaluation, which included clinical, laboratory, and liver and transthoracic cardiac ultrasound assessments.

Background: Vitamin D insufficiency is increasingly recognized as a significant and underlying contributor to a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly in gastrointestinal (GI) and endocrine health. The study aims to determine the clinical relationship between vitamin D status and the severity of GI symptoms, while also assessing the impact of related endocrine disturbances.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 120 adult patients with GI problems, including constipation, bloating, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and dyspepsia in a tertiary care hospital over a six-month duration.
