Core Tip This cross-sectional study systematically assesses anxiety and depression symptoms alongside comprehensive metabolic indicators in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). We found high rates of psychological symptoms that are significantly associated with key metabolic parameters including body mass index, triglycerides, liver fat content, and liver enzymes. These findings support a multidimensional relationship between mental health and metabolic dysfunction in MASLD and highlight the importance of integrating psychological screening and metabolic management in clinical care to improve overall outcomes. This work provides a basis for more holistic strategies in MASLD patient management.
