Applying 1-hour postload plasma glucose diagnostic criteria reveals high Progressive Risks of potential MASLD

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

NAFLD-non-MASLD patients with 1-h PG ≥ 8.6 mmol/L are still at high risk of poor clinical outcomes. These findings support including 1-h PG ≥ 8.6 mmol/L as a component of the metabolic dysfunction definition.

Study context
