Association of HEI with NAFLD and advanced fibrosis, stratified by tertiles of total energy intake
| NAFLD | Advanced fibrosis | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multivariable-adjusted OR (95% CI) | Low Total Energy | Mid Total Energy | High Total Energy | Low Total Energy | Mid Total Energy | High Total Energy |
| Low HEI | Ref | Ref | Ref | Ref | Ref | Ref |
| Mid HEI | 0.22 (0.06, 0.73) | 0.96 (0.42, 2.16) | 0.84 (0.40, 1.73) | 0.07 (0.01, 0.89) | 7.08 (1.26, 39.81) | 1.92 (0.58, 6.34) |
| 0.31 (0.13, 0.72) | 1.08 (0.47, 2.46) | 1.02 (0.41, 2.53) | 0.21 (0.05, 0.87) | 0.32 (0.03, 3.86) | 0.19 (0.03, 1.27) | |

Abbreviations: HEI: Healthy Eating Index 2015; NAFLD: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, OR: odds ratio, CI: confidence interval;
Low, Med, High refer to Tertiles 1, 2, and 3, respectively;
Models: Multivariable logistic regression, stratified by tertiles of total energy intake;
Values: Multivariable-adjusted Odds Ratios (95% Confidence Intervals);
