Associations of select nutrient intake changes from visit 1 to visit 2 with log-transformed hepatic fat at visit 2 in the sample of multi-ethnic youth stratified by PNPLA3 rs738409 risk allele, excluding participants with obesity at visit 1 or visit 2 (n=3279)

a

Model 1: Adjusted for offspring sex, age, Hispanic ethnicity, maternal education, maternal DM, maternal smoking, baseline intake (T1), change in TEI (T2-T1), and TEI plausibility at T1.

b

Model 2: Adjusted for Model 1 covariates and BMI z-score at T2.

c

β coefficients are estimate the effect on log-hepatic fat for a +5 unit increase in each nutrient as a percentage of TEI, except for dietary fiber, which is assessed as g/1000 kcal. Bold black indicates p<0.05. Bold black italic indicate p<0.10.

Abbreviations: TEI, total energy intake; BMI, body mass index.
