Summary

This study will follow 1,000 adults in Hong Kong who have both type 2 diabetes and a common fatty liver condition called MASLD. Researchers will collect health data and blood samples over time to see how the liver disease progresses and to find early markers of serious liver scarring. The goal is to better understand the link between diabetes and liver disease and improve future monitoring and care.
