Generation MASLD: a precision medicine framework for young-onset metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
摘要
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) increasingly affects young adults, yet this population remains excluded from therapeutic trials and inadequately served by age-biased diagnostic medicine framework for “Generation MASLD” addressing three critical gaps: diagnostic tool failure in younger patients, therapeutic evidence derived exclusively from middle-aged cohorts, and absent transition-of-care frameworks. Urgent action is needed to prevent an emerging public health crisis.
