Core Tip
Core Tip: The relationship between muscle strength and the incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), as well as the mechanisms underlying the correlation and related clinical applications were discussed. Muscle strength may play an imperative role in the incidence and development of NAFLD/MAFLD and interventions to improve muscle strength in the management of NAFLD/MAFLD may provide novel insights into the treatment of these diseases.
