Association Between Nutrient Patterns and Fatty Liver Index: Baseline Survey of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort Study in Tokushima, Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Backgrounds

The fatty liver index (FLI) is a good non-invasive approach for fatty liver disease diagnosis. The objective of this study was to examine the associations of nutrient patterns with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Japanese population.

Methods

A total of 1,588 subjects (789 men and 799 women) aged 35-69 years were recruited in the baseline survey of the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) Study in Tokushima Prefecture. Factor analysis was applied to energy-adjusted intake of 21 nutrients, and nutrient patterns were extracted. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationships between nutrient patterns and the high FLI category (≥60).

Results

Four nutrient patterns were extracted: Factor 1, vitamins,
