Association between daidzein intake and metabolic associated fatty liver disease: A cross-sectional study from NHANES 2017–2018

ABSTRACT:

Background

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) has become the most common liver disease globally, yet no new drugs have been approved for clinical treatment. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between dietary intake of soy-derived daidzein and MAFLD, to find potentially effective treatments.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional study using data from 1,476 participants in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2017 to 2018 and their associated daidzein intake from the flavonoid database in the USDA Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies (FNDDS). We investigated the relationship between MAFLD status, controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), AST/Platelet Ratio Index (APRI), Fibrosis-4 Index (FIB-4), liver stiffness measu
