Advanced liver fibrosis, but not MASLD, is associated with accelerated biological aging: a population-based study

Nov 26, 2024BMC public health

Severe liver scarring, but not fatty liver disease, is linked to faster biological aging in the population

Abstract

Participants with advanced fibrosis exhibited a KDM_advance of 4.22 years and a phenoage_advance of 2.61 years.

  • Individuals with advanced fibrosis showed significantly greater compared to those without advanced fibrosis.
  • Advanced fibrosis was linked to an increase in biological age measured by both the KDM and Phenoage methods.
  • No significant biological aging was identified in participants with .
  • The findings suggest that advanced fibrosis may be a critical factor in understanding biological aging in chronic liver disease.
