🏃♂️🍎 What drives meaningful weight loss in patients with MASLD?

In this large multicenter study of 897 patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), only 18.3% achieved a ≥7% weight loss over ~21 months despite lifestyle counselling

🔍 Key predictors of ≥ 7% weight loss:
🔸 Baseline BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²
🔸 Use of GLP-1 receptor agonists
🔸 Bilirubin ≥ 1.2 mg/dL
🔸 Nutritionist support
🔸 Liver stiffness ≥ 10 kPa

📊 GLP-1 agonists and dietitian involvement were associated with >3× higher odds of losing ≥ 10% of initial weight

💡 These results show that most patients with MASLD do not achieve meaningful weight loss with lifestyle advice alone, highlighting the need for early identification of those who may benefit from additional support, including GLP-1 therapy and dietitian-led interventions

🎧 In the new UEG Talks podcast episode, host Egle speaks with former UEG President Axel Dignass about what it takes to lead in times of crisis. Drawing on his experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, Axel reflects on the difference between being a boss and being a true leader. He shares thoughts on the value of empathy, transparency, and consistency, as well as how to build and sustain a resilient team. The conversation also touches on the challenges of going virtual, the importance of recognising team achievements, and the warning signs of toxic leadership — a must-listen for anyone looking to grow as a leader in uncertain times.

💬 "A boss gives orders, a leader inspires and motivates."
