“…Similar results were obtained in other observational studies[ 34 , 56 ]. On the other hand, some studies report significant associations of this diet with the risk of NAFLD[ 58 , 60 ]. In the literature, the following dietary patterns familiar to the western patterns are also present: Fast food[ 54 , 55 ]; animal food/high protein[ 53 , 54 ]; red meat and alcohol[ 62 ]; high-salt[ 57 ]; high-fat dairy and refined grains[ 62 ]; high-carbohydrate/sweet/sugar/high fruits[ 53 , 64 , 65 ]; as well as, snacks and energy-dense dietary pattern[ 58 , 59 , 62 ].…”

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rising worldwide, paralleling the epidemic of obesity. The liver is a key organ for the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Various types of fats and carbohydrates in isocaloric diets differently influence fat accumulation in the liver parenchyma. Therefore, nutrition can manage hepatic and cardiometabolic complications of NAFLD. Even moderately reduced caloric intake, which leads to a weight loss of 5%-10% of initial body weight, is effective in improving liver steatosis and surrogate markers of liver disease status. Among dietary patterns, the Mediterranean diet mostly prevents the onset of NAFLD. Furthermore, this diet is also the most recommended for the treatment of NAFLD patients. However, clinical trials based on the dietary interventions in NAFLD patients are sparse. Since there are only a few studies examining dietary interventions in clinically advanced stages of NAFLD, such as active and fibrotic steatohepatitis, the optimal diet for patients in these stages of the disease must still be determined. In this narrative review, we aimed to critically summarize the associations between different dietary patterns, obesity and prevention/risk for NAFLD, to describe specific dietary interventions’ impacts on liver steatosis in adults with NAFLD and to provide an updated overview of dietary recommendations that clinicians potentially need to apply in their daily practice.

“…Two studies, including elderly participants, investigated the associations between dietary patterns and the incidence of NAFLD diagnosed by the presence of fatty liver on abdominal ultrasonography. Seaweed, vegetables, mushrooms, and soy products were common components of the dietary patterns, which were associated with a lower risk of NAFLD in these two studies [32,33].…”

A Cross-Sectional Pilot Study on Food Intake Patterns Identified from Very Short FFQ and Metabolic Factors Including Liver Function in Healthy Japanese Adults

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a growing health problem, and rapid diet assessment is required for personal nutrition education. This pilot study aimed to clarify associations between current food intake patterns identified from the short food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and metabolic parameters, including liver function. We conducted a cross-sectional study on Japanese non-alcoholic residents of Tokyo and surrounding districts, 20 to 49 years of age. Anthropometric measurements, fasting blood samples, three-day dietary records, and FFQ with 21 items were collected. In all 198 participants, the proportions with obesity were 21% in men and 6% in women. Hypertriglyceridemia was significant only in men, affecting 26%. The traditional Japanese (TJ) pattern (greater intakes of green and yellow vegetables, other vegetables, seaweed/mushrooms/konjac, dairy, fruits, fish, salty, and soybeans/soy products) and the Westernized pattern (greater intakes of saturated-fat-rich foods, oily, egg/fish-eggs/liver, and sweets) were identified. The TJ pattern score showed an inverse relationship with body mass index, triglyceride, alkaline-phosphatase, leucine-aminopeptidase, and fatty liver index. The TJ pattern identified from the short FFQ was suggested to be associated with body fat storage. Further large-scale studies are needed to clarify the associations between this dietary pattern and metabolic parameters, including liver function.

“…Our results were consistent with a body of published works. Animal oil is rich in saturated fatty acid (SFA), and it has proved that SFA was positively associated with MAFLD [ 35 , 36 ]. In a study conducted in Chinese population, researchers found that high intake of SUA was positively associated with MAFLD (OR = 7.56.…”

Background The prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has been rising rapidly in western China. Diet acts as an effective therapy for MAFLD. However, there has been scarce research on the association between a posteriori diet patterns (DPs) and MAFLD in this region. Method We identified three a posteriori DPs which were “Sichuan Basin pattern” characterized by a high intake of fish/seafood, poultry, fresh fruit and vegetables, indicating a balanced and modern DP; the “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” characterized mainly by a high intake of animal oil and salt, indicating an agricultural and poor DP; and the “Qinghai–Tibet Plateau dietary pattern” characterized by a high intake of coarse grains, wheat products, tubers and tea, respectively, indicating a high-altitude DP. Then, we performed marginal structural models that combined logistic regression and inverse probability exposure weighting (IPEW) to examine the associations between MAFLD and these a posteriori DPs. Result We found the “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” revealed stronger positive association (OR = 1.50, 95% CI 1.40–1.60) with MAFLD than that of the “Qinghai–Tibet Plateau dietary pattern” (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.14–1.30). In contrast, the “Sichuan Basin dietary pattern” showed no significant association with MAFLD. In the further stratified analysis, we found those above associations were stronger in ethnic minorities and rural residents than their counterparts. Conclusion Our study implied the unfavourable effects of “Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau dietary pattern” on MAFLD and provided evidence that reducing the intake of oil and sodium may be optimal for MAFLD control in the multi-ethnic region in western China.
