PURPOSE: International expert panels proposed new nomenclatures, metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) in 2020 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in 2023, along with revised diagnostic criteria to replace non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to investigate the differences in NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD prevalence with changing nomenclature in a health check-up using magnetic resonance imaging-derived proton density fat fraction (MRI-PDFF) to assess hepatic steatosis. We also examined the prevalence of the sub-classifications of steatotic liver disease (SLD) and the differences in characteristics among the sub-categories. METHODS: We included 844 participants who underwent liver MRI-PDFF at our health check-up clinic between January 2020 and November 2022. Hepatic steatosis was defined as MRI-PDFF ≥ 5%. Participants were categorized according to NAFLD, MAFLD, MASLD, and sub-classifications of SLD. RESULTS: The prevalence rates of NAFLD, MAFLD, and MASLD were 25.9%, 29.5%, and 25.2%, respectively. 30.5% of the participants was categorized as SLD. The prevalence rates of the SLD sub-categories were 25.2% for MASLD, 3.7% for MASLD and alcohol-associated liver disease (MetALD), 0.1% for alcohol-associated liver disease, 1.3% for specific etiology SLD, and 0.1% for cryptogenic SLD. Compared with patients in the MASLD group, those in the MetALD group were younger, predominantly male, and exhibited higher levels of serum aspartate aminotransferase, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, and triglycerides. CONCLUSION: The prevalences of NAFLD and MASLD assessed using MRI-PDFF were similar, with MASLD accounting for 97.3% of the patients with NAFLD. The separate MetALD sub-category may have clinical characteristics that differ from those of MASLD.
