It is believed that patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which can lead to sarcopenia and physical dysfunction. However, the relationship between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and physical dysfunction and prognosis remains unclear. We investigated the prevalence of MAFLD in patients with ACS to assess the relationship between MAFLD and muscle strength, walking speed, and 6-min walking distance (6 MWD). We reviewed patients with ACS who were assessed for hepatic steatosis using the fatty liver index, and the results were further assessed to determine the presence of MAFLD. Among 479 enrolled hospitalized patients, MAFLD was identified in 234 (48.9%) patients. Multiple regression analysis revealed that MAFLD was independently associated with lower leg strength, gait speed, and 6 MWD (leg strength, p = 0.020; gait speed, p = 0.003 and 6 MWD, p = 0.011). Furthermore, in multivariate Poisson regression models after adjustment for clinical confounding factors, combined MAFLD and reduced physical functions were significantly associated with a higher incidence of clinical events. MAFLD is common in hospitalized patients with ACS and is associated with impaired physical function. Also, the coexistence of MAFLD and lower physical function predict the incidence of clinical events in patients with ACS.
