Metabolic adaptation

High overall or unhealthful low-fat diet (LFD) scores are associated with increased likelihood of steatosis (OR = 1.65 for overall LFD, OR = 1.41 for unhealthful LFD).

Avoiding high scores in unhealthful low-fat diets may reduce the risk of hepatic steatosis.

High overall (OR = 1.65, 95% CI: 1.13‐2.40, p trend = 0.006) or unhealthful (OR = 1.41, 95% CI: 1.10‐1.80, p trend < 0.001) LFD scores were associated with increased likelihood of steatosis.
