Dyslipidemia, Obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: From Roots to Management

Dear Colleagues,

Patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), often considered the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome (MetS), represent a population frequently suffering from atherogenic dyslipidemia and posing a significantly increased cardiovascular risk. Since dyslipidemia, obesity/MetS and MAFLD share etiopathogenesis roots and are all major drivers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, impaired quality of life and reduced life span, their early detection and comprehensive multidisciplinary management are warranted.

Considering their constantly growing prevalence and associated global public health concerns, we are collating this Special Issue titled “Dyslipidemia, Obesity and Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Fatty Liver Disease: From Roots to Management”.

For this Special Issue, we aim to publish outstanding contributions in the key fields covered by the journal, which will make a great contribution to the community. Thus, we believe that Medicina is an excellent platform to support such an overview on the current evidence and insights regarding dyslipidemia, obesity/metabolic syndrome and MAFLD.

We hope that our Special Issue will draw the attention of the readers, scientists and clinicians in general.
