In a bid to raise awareness of the disease, a multidisciplinary group of experts recommended changing the definition and nomenclature of NAFLD to metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). MAFLD is diagnosed in patients with steatosis and at least one of the three criteria: obesity/overweight, type 2 diabetes mellitus and any evidence of metabolic dysregulation. NAFLD—non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; MAFLD—metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease.
