Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Chronic liver diseases (CLDs), represented mainly by metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), viral hepatitis, and alcoholic liver disease, represent a real and current threat at a global level. It is estimated that there are more than 1.5 billion CLD cases worldwide, encompassing individuals at various stages of disease severity. 

Dietary habits and overall lifestyle are pivotal in CLD pathogenesis and constitute key components of CLD onset, progression, and management. Within this context, it is essential to address the progress and current understanding of the role of diet and lifestyle in CLDs and their treatment. Authors are invited to submit original research and review articles on a wide spectrum of topics related to diet, lifestyle, and liver health, including aspects of personalized dietary treatment and lifestyle (i.e., nutrigenetics/nutrigenomics, epigenetics, and gut microbiome), as well as any liver-related complications.

Dr. Ioanna Panagiota Kalafati

Physical activity is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle, with benefits in managing chronic diseases. This study investigates the relationship between physical activity and liver-related outcomes with or without steatotic liver diseases, including metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and MASLD and increased alcohol intake (MetALD). The primary outcomes of interest were overall survival in the entire population, individuals without steatotic liver disease, patients with MASLD, and those with MetALD. The secondary outcomes included the incidence of liver cirrhosis. Participants were categorized based on physical activity frequency and Kaplan–Meier survival curves and Cox proportional hazards models were used for analysis. Higher physical activity was associated with significantly better survival in the overall cohort and MASLD cohort before and after inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW). In participants without steatotic liver disease and the MetALD cohort, higher physical activity showed significant survival improvement after IPTW. For the incidence of liver cirrhosis, higher physical activity showed significant associations before IPTW in the overall cohort and MASLD cohort, but these associations were not significant after IPTW. Marginal significance was observed in the MetALD cohort before and after IPTW. In conclusion. promoting physical activity may be key in improving liver-related outcomes. Full article
