MASLD is defined as fatty liver index (FLI) \u226560, one metabolic risk factor and no alternate liver disease, while MAFLD was defined as FLI \u226560 with overweight\/obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and\/or metabolic dysfunction.

Neither form of fatty liver disease (FLD) was associated with an increased risk of death related to extrahepatic cancer compared to those without FLD. Both forms of FLD were associated with an increased incidence of colorectal cancer (MASLD adjusted sub\u2010hazard ratio (sHR) 2.90, 95% CI 1.17\u20137.17; MAFLD: sHR 3.15, 95% CI 1.43\u20136.96) following adjustment for confounding factors.
