Background Investigating effects of whole diets on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease can contribute to development of diet-based recommendations for prevention and treatment of this disease. the aim of the present study is the identification of major dietary patterns and their association with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods A total of 244 individuals (122 NAFLD patients and 122 controls) participated in this case-control study. NAFLD patients were diagnosed by a gastroenterologist. Dietary intake data of participants were collected using a 147 item semi-quantitive food frequency questionnaire and major dietary patterns were identified by principal component analysis. The consumption of dietary patterns was divided into tertiles. The association of dietary patterns with the odds of NAFLD was investigated by multivariate logistic regression.
Results four major dietary patterns were recognized. The "ordinary pattern" adherence was positively associated with NAFLD risk. Although, results were statistically significant only for the third tertile versus the first tertile after adjusting for confounding factors (OR: 3.74, P-trend <0.001). Likewise, Adherence to the "traditional pattern" was associated with a higher risk for NAFLD. On the contrary, individuals in the third tertile of the "vegetable and dairy pattern" had a significantly decreased risk for NAFLD in comparison to the first tertile. Nevertheless, no significant association between "fast food type pattern" and the risk of NAFLD was found.
Conclusion there is a significant association between different dietary patterns and the risk of NAFLD. These results can potentially serve as a dietary strategy for the prevention of NAFLD in individuals who are at high risk for the progression of NAFLD.
