Recently, Delphi consensus proposed an overarching term steatotic liver disease (SLD), with various subcategories such as MASLD, MetALD and ALD. Our aim was to investigate the association between MASLD/MetALD/ALD and four intrahepatic and extrahepatic diseases (liver diseases, renal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers) in the UK Biobank cohort. By defining hepatic steatosis as image-derived phenotype (IDP)-PDFF >5.21%, we used data from the UK Biobank to diagnose MASLD/ MetALD/ALD. The odd ratio (OR) and the hazard ratio (HR) were calculated using the logistic regression modals and Cox regression models, respectively. Among 39,230 eligible individuals, 6,865 MASLD subjects, 2,379 MetALD subjects and 884 ALD subjects were diagnosed. The last follow-up time was October 13, 2023. Consistent with the logistic analyses, MASLD/MetALD/ALD were significantly associated with a higher risk of liver diseases (HR=3.04 [95%CI:2.60∼3.56], HR = 2.69 [95% CI: 2.12∼3.42] and HR =3.99 [95%CI:2.92∼5.45], respectively). Subjects with MASLD also had an increased higher risk of renal diseases (HR = 1.40 [95%CI:1.20∼1.64]) and subjects with ALD had an increased higher risk of cancers (HR = 1.36 [95%CI:1.15∼1.60]). It is the first study to report the association between MASLD, MetALD, ALD and common intrahepatic and extrahepatic diseases based on magnetic resonance imaging data-PDFF. We found that MASLD, MetALD and ALD were risk factors for liver diseases. Meanwhile, MASLD was also a risk factor for renal diseases and ALD was a risk factor for cancers.
