Introduction: Metabolic-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) represents a prevalent and multifaceted systemic condition, characterized by its intricate interplay of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and various metabolic perturbations. Given its complexity, MASLD necessitates a comprehensive multidisciplinary strategy for both prevention and management. Areas covered: Each of the experts who contributed to this review has made an in-depth review of the literature within their field of knowledge using PubMed. This review covers nutrition, physical activity and exercise, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular risk factors, psychological approach, and clinical care by hepatologists in MASLD patients. Expert opinion: Adherence to the Mediterranean diet and engagement in exercise have been shown to ameliorate and potentially reverse MASLD. The hepatologist plays a pivotal role in diagnosis, assessment of liver comorbidities, and disease staging, emphasizing lifestyle modification and tailored therapy. Nutritionists are vital in dietary interventions, while specialists in sports medicine are essential for overcoming sedentary lifestyles, requiring fitness evaluations to customize exercise prescriptions. Psychological support addresses social and adherence challenges, enhancing patient management. Additionally, metabolic medicine experts are crucial for managing associated comorbidities, including cardiovascular risk factors and type 2 diabetes.
