Dietary niacin intake was assessed using two 24\u2010h dietary recalls, with intake calculated as the average of both recalls. Metabolic Dysfunction\u2010Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) was defined as hepatic steatosis plus at least one metabolic risk factor, including obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertriglyceridemia, or hypertension. Hepatic steatosis was identified using hepatic elastography (CAP \u2265\u2009248\u2009dB\/m) or self\u2010reported diagnosis.
