Associations of five dietary indices with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and liver fibrosis among the United States population.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The role of dietary factors in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD)-which represents a new definition of liver steatosis and metabolic dysfunction- remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the relationships between dietary indices and MASLD.

Methods

We analyzed data from the United States National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2017-2020 cycle, including 4,690 participants with complete vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) data. Multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for covariates were used to assess the association between dietary indices, MASLD, and MASLD-associated liver fibrosis (MASLD-LF). Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models and subgroup analyses were also performed.
