Association of dietary quality and mortality in the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and advanced fibrosis populations: NHANES 2005-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as a significant global health concern, with advanced fibrosis increasing mortality risks. Despite the abundance of dietary guidelines for managing NAFLD, the precise impact of diet quality on mortality among individuals with advanced fibrosis remains elusive. This study aims to explore the influence of five dietary quality indexes on mortality among NAFLD patients and advanced fibrosis patients.
