Preventing liver disease with policy measures to tackle alcohol consumption and obesity: the HEPAHEALTH II study

•A microsimulation model was used to predict the impact of alcohol and obesity on chronic liver disease and liver cancer.•Policies modelled included: MUP of €0.70 and €1, volumetric alcohol tax, SSB tax and food marketing restrictions.•The model projected an increase in the number of new cases in all three countries, with no interventions.•Evidence supports introducing a €1 MUP for alcohol to reduce the burden of chronic liver disease across Europe.•This study shows the importance of targeting multiple drivers of alcohol consumption and obesity simultaneously.
