Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects more than 30% of the world's adult population. While it is associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome, emerging evidence has shown that a substantial number of MASLD patients have a normal body mass index ("lean individuals with MASLD"). In this article, we provide an overview of the definition, epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical outcomes associated with lean individuals with MASLD and updates on current management.
