Dietary and lifestyle indices for hyperinsulinemia and odds of MAFLD in overweight and obese children and adolescents.

ABSTRACT: Lifestyle and dietary intake play a pivotal role in development of metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease(MAFLD). We performed this cross-sectional study to evaluate the association between lifestyle and dietary insulinemic potential and odds of MAFLD in overweight and obese children and adolescents. The insulinemic potential of the diet and lifestyle was assessed by computing the scores of the empirical dietary index for hyperinsulinemia(EDIH), the empirical lifestyle index for hyperinsulinemia(ELIH), the empirical dietary index for insulin resistance(EDIR), and the empirical lifestyle index for insulin resistance(ELIR). MAFLD was diagnosed according to the consensus definitions. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated by logistic regression. A t
