Receiver-operating characteristic analyses of dietary variables associated with low or high viral load.

HCV Viral Load	Variable	Cut-Off	AUC	p-Value	Sensitivity, %	Specificity, %
Low	PUFA (%)	≥4.9	0.624	0.032	61.8	56.6
High	Fiber (g/day)	≥21.5	0.633	0.026	61.4	69.7

HCV, hepatitis C virus; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids; AUC, area under the curve.
