Metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously termed Non- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), and Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) pose global health challenges rooted in metabolic dysregulation and lifestyle factors. Emerging evidence links physical inactivity with MASLD onset, commonly observed among MASLD patients. With no specific pharmacological treatment, dietary interventions and exercise are cornerstones of MASLD management. Engaging in regular physical activity has shown to improve MetS components. This observational prospective study, involving 200 patients, examines the physical activity levels of adults aged 18-74 diagnosed with MASLD or MetS using a validated questionnaire. Non-invasive assessment using transient elastography (Fibroscan) and serological scores reveal higher liver steatosis and fibrosis scores in MetS patients. A linear correlation emerged between MetS component count and physical activity index. Engaging in physical activity in adults has positive effects on various health outcomes, highlighting the need to address both metabolic and lifestyle factors for optimal health.
