Multivariate Regression Model of Dairy Fat Intake as a Predictor of Liver MRI-PDFF

	β	t	p
Dairy fat, gm/d	−0.152	−2.675	0.008
Age, y	−0.372	−4.006	<0.001
Sex (male)	0.125	2.111	0.036
Ethnicity (Hispanic)	0.401	4.623	<0.001
BMI z-score	0.451	5.200	<0.001
Intercept	2.040	5.695	<0.001

BMI = body mass index; MRI-PDFF = magnetic resonance imaging proton density fat fraction. Variables that were not normally distributed were transformed logarithmically for regression analyses (dairy fat and liver MRI-PDFF). Model R² = 0.297, p<0.001.
