Table 3. Linear regression analysis linking each diet-quality score and the intrahepatic triglyceride content 1 (n = 797).
Diet-quality score | Age and sex adjusted | Multivariate adjusted 2 | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Beta | SE | P value | Beta | SE | P value | |
MDS | -0.036 | 0.011 | 0.001 | -0.033 | 0.009 | <0.001 |
DQI-I | -0.006 | 0.002 | 0.001 | -0.004 | 0.001 | 0.003 |
1 Logarithmic transformation was applied for regression analysis
2 Further adjusted for BMI, energy intake, current smoker status (yes/no), current drinker status (yes/no), central obesity (yes/no), triglyceride >1.7 mmol/l (yes/no), reduced HDL-cholesterol (yes/no), hypertension (yes/no), impaired fasting glucose or diabetes (yes/no), and the PNPLA3 genotypes (CC vs. CG vs. GG genotypes)
