Dietary habits and their emotional components, particularly emotional eating and food insecurity, may contribute to both metabolic disease progression and reduced psychological well-being. This activity aims to characterize the clinical, metabolic, and psychosocial profile of patients with MASLD through validated questionnaires on dietary habits and psychological status, collection of clinical and anthropometric data, assessment of liver parameters and fibrosis by FibroScan, and analysis of circulating biomarkers from liquid biopsy. Data integration will support early identification of high-risk phenotypes and the development of personalized strategies addressing hepato-metabolic, psychological, and behavioral factors involved in disease progression. /ppMandatory requirement for admission to the selection: italian Laurea Magistrale, or Laurea a Ciclo Unico, or an equivalent degree from foreign Universities, obtained no more than 6 years prior to the application deadline (i.e obtained after 13/10/2020).
