This population-based cross-sectional study in Western China investigated the joint effects of sleep quality and physical activity (PA) on metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Poor sleep quality and physical inactivity were independently and jointly associated with increased MAFLD prevalence. Individuals with no recommended moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and poor sleep had the highest MAFLD risk. Improving sleep quality significantly attenuated MAFLD prevalence regardless of PA levels, while high PA levels did not fully counteract poor sleep's negative impact. Public health strategies targeting both sleep quality and PA are needed to address the rising MAFLD prevalence.
