A call to action to address the steatotic liver disease public health threat in Barcelona. Lancet Reg Health Eur. 2025 May;52:101272. DOI: 10.1016/j.lanepe.2025.1012722666-7762http://hdl.handle.net/10230/70744Despite their high prevalence worldwide, steatotic liver diseases (SLDs) are largely excluded from most non-communicable disease (NCD) guidelines and strategies. We propose policies and strategies to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal of reducing NCD premature mortality by one-third by 2030. To assess this gap -the exclusion of SLDs from NCD policies- in urban areas, we reviewed Barcelona's strategies for NCD risks (e.g., alcohol, tobacco, healthy food access). We then explored applications of geo-spatial visualisation and whole-of-society approaches (e.g., citizen science engagement) aligned with the World Health Organization (WHO) Best Buys to provide recommendations to address NCDs, generally, and SLDs specifically.application/pdfeng© 2025 The Author(s).
