Xiaoxiao Wang, Xiaohe Li, Rui Jin, Jia Yang, Rui Huang, Lai Wei, Feng Liu, Huiying Rao – 12 May 2022 – Metabolic‐associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a series of liver diseases based on liver steatosis and metabolic disorders. Steatosis, as the core factor in MAFLD diagnosis, and fibrosis, as the major determinant of adverse outcomes of MAFLD, need to be assessed simply and accurately. In this study, we explored the significance of mid‐upper arm circumference (MUAC) in evaluating liver steatosis and fibrosis in patients with MAFLD.
