The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) has emerged as a novel metabolic biomarker implicated in MASLD pathogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the association between UHR and MASLD in a T2DM population.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we analyzed clinical data from 1081 T2DM patients (464 without MASLD, 617 with MASLD). Physiological and biochemical parameters were collected and analyzed. UHR was calculated as [uric acid (mg/dL)/HDL-C (mg/dL)] ×  100%. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to examine the association between UHR and MASLD.Results: T2DM patients with MASLD had significantly higher UHR levels than those without MASLD (12.12[9.06– 16.83] vs 10.36[7.65– 14.08], p< 0.001). UHR showed a strong positive correlation with TG/HDL (r =0.673, p < 0.001), moderate correlations with TG (r = 0.516, p < 0.001) and TC/HDL (r =0.548, p < 0.001), weak bu
