Who is
at risk?
Certain health conditions and family history can tell you a lot about your risk for fatty liver disease and MASH (metabolic dysfunction–associated steatohepatitis) and indicate if it’s time to talk to your doctor about whether you should be screened.
Don't wait to get evaluated. If you think you are at risk for MASH, SPEAK UP, SPEAK LOUD, and SPEAK NOW.
What are the cardiometabolic risk factors for MASH?
MASH is an advanced form of fatty liver disease, which is characterized by excessive fat buildup in the liver. It is closely associated with the following cardiometabolic risk factors (conditions that can affect your cardiovascular system, which is made up of your heart and blood vessels):
Type 2 diabetes
Obesity
High blood pressure
High triglycerides
(a type of fat)
Low HDL (good cholesterol)
Additionally, certain people may also be at higher risk for fatty liver disease, which can progress to MASH, like those of Hispanic or Asian descent with specific genetic factors.
If you are living with risk factors, ask your health care professional (HCP) about whether you should be screened for MASH.
In 1 study, 56% of people living with MASH also had type 2 diabetes and 42% were living with obesity
