Association between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease and abdominal aortic aneurysm: findings from the UK Biobank cohort

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is the second most common aortic pathological manifestation. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has a wide impact on the cardiovascular system and may be a risk factor for AAA. The aim of this study was to investigate whether MAFLD is associated with the risk of AAA.
