MASLD, introduced by multinational liver societies to replace Non\u2010Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), highlights the central role of metabolic dysfunction in the pathogenesis of steatotic liver disease. Depression trajectories were estimated across a median follow\u2010up of 4.6\u00a0years (IQR: 0.1\u20137.1\u00a0years) and were identified as four distinct patterns of symptoms: \u2018non\u2010depressed\u2019, \u2018subthreshold depression\u2019, \u2018persistent depression\u2019, and \u2018emerging depression\u2019. Multivariable multinomial logistic regressions were performed to examine the association between baseline MASLD presence and membership of the depression trajectories, adjusting for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, anthropometric indices, cognitive function, polypharmacy and the number of morbidities. Additional subgroup analyses were also performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of 9097 individuals (mean age 75.1\u00a0\u00b1\u00a04.2\u00a0years; 55.0% males), 2998 (33%) had MASLD at baseline. Participants with MASLD were significantly more likely to belong to the persistent depression trajectory (RRR\u00a0=\u00a01.13; 95% CI: 1.02\u20131.24) and the subthreshold depression trajectory (1.43; 1.22\u20131.67) than those without MASLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study shows that the presence of MASLD is significantly associated with an increased risk of a worse depression trajectory.
