Program Description

This program will explore the interconnected relationships between obesity, metabolic dysfunction, and MASLD/MASH, highlighting the role of visceral and hepatic fat in amplifying metabolic dysfunction. Participants will learn why waist circumference–based measures and earlier liver assessment, including FIB-4, should be considered integral components of obesity care. Participants will also examine the importance of individualized, comprehensive care plans that address the diverse needs of people living with obesity.
