Abstract
Background: To evaluate the association between a new definition of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), different metabolic dysfunction subtypes and risk of colorectal cancer(CRC).
Methods: A total of 99,979 participants who met the criteria were included from the Kailuan Study. Participants were categorized into three groups based on fatty liver disease and metabolic status: Non-SLD with metabolic normal group(NMN), Non-SLD with metabolic abnormal group(NMA) and MASLD group. Incident of CRC were confirmed by review of medical records. The Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess the association MASLD with the risk of CRC by calculating the hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI).
Results: During a mean 13.54±2.78 years of follow-up, we documented 669 CRC. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that compared with the NMN group, MASLD participants demonstrated an increased risk of developing CRC (HR 1.54 95%CI 1.12-2.13). The greater the number of metabolic dysfunctions, the greater the risks of CRC (P <0.05). The HR for CRC was 1.93 (95% CI 1.27-2.92) in MASLD participants with 4-5 items of metabolic dysfunctions. In the subtype analysis, the HR for CRC was 1.97 (95% CI 1.13-3.45) in lean-MASLD participants and 1.55(95%CI 1.12-2.15) in diabetes-MASLD participants.
Conclusion: MASLD was associated with increased risk of CRC. Moreover, MASLD individuals who complicated by lean or diabetes have an increased risk of developing CRC.
