Core Tip	The editorial discusses risk factors (Helicobacter pylori infection, proinflammatory cytokines, adipokines, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, insulin resistance, gut microbiota, and other indicators) in the development of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. This issue is covered in an article by Chinese authors presented in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, where they show that in a large cross-sectional study involving 28,624 adults, it was revealed that Helicobacter pylori infection is correlated with metabolic disturbances, particularly in obese and older individuals. This study is distinguished by its extremely promising and strategically new objective and a very impressive methodological level of research.
