MASLD and MASH were identified at baseline using the FibroScan\u2010AST (FAST) score. Cognitive function was assessed using the Thai\u2010validated Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) at baseline and a follow\u2010up visit. A multivariate linear mixed model was used to determine the difference in changes in MoCA scores between participants with and without baseline MASH.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among 291 participants (60.5% male; median age 54.4 years), 60 (20.6%) met criteria for MASH at baseline. Over a median follow\u2010up of 5.9 years, baseline MASLD was not associated with cognitive decline, whereas participants with baseline MASH showed a significantly greater cognitive decline between ages 50 and 80 years, after adjusting for age, sex, body mass index, education level, employment status, smoking, alcohol consumption, diabetes, hypertension, duration of HIV acquisition and exposure to efavirenz. Participants with MASH showed a mean MoCA decline of \u20134.79 (95% CI \u20137.49 to \u20132.09), compared with \u20130.94 (95% CI \u20132.20 to \u20130.32) among those without MASH (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010interaction = 0.007).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>MASH is a significant predictor of steeper cognitive decline in older people with HIV, independent of traditional metabolic and HIV\u2010related risk factors.
