EDIP, empirical dietary inflammatory pattern; HBV, hepatitis B Virus; HCV, hepatitis C Virus; NHANES, US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Model 1 was adjusted for age; Model 2 was further adjusted for sex, smoking status, race, education, family income to poverty ratio, marital status, physical activity, total energy, HBV, and HCV.
CAP values ≥ 274 dB/m and 290 dB/m were considered indicative of S1 and S2 steatosis, respectively.
Linear trends across increasing categories of EDIP scores were tested by entering EDIP scores as a continuous variable into the models, and P values for trend were calculated using a Wald test.
