Assessment of Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Liver Fibrosis: A Cross-sectional Study in Asymptomatic Individuals in Greater Vancouver (IMAGE)
Caption
A substantial proportion of asymptomatic individuals in Greater Vancouver have undetected MASLD and significant fibrosis. Early identification of high-risk groups may support broader implementation of transient elastography screening. This study provides one of the first North American population-based estimates of MASLD and fibrosis stratified by ethnicity, offering new insights into liver disease distribution among Caucasian, Chinese, and South Asian populations.
