Abstract EN
Is steatosis related to the spontaneous carbohydrate intake in patients with NAFLD? We performed dietary records for 24 patients with NAFLD, 3 months after their liver biopsy was performed and before the deliverance of a dietary advice.
The food quotient, indicator of the proportion of calories from carbohydrates, was calculated as (1.00×% calories from carbohydrates/100) + (0.70×% calories from lipids/100) + (0.81×% calories from proteins/100).
The associations between diet variables and steatosis% on the hepatic biopsies were tested by regression analysis, and diet variables were compared according to the presence of fibrosis.
The subjects displayed a large range of steatosis, 50.5% ± 25.5 [10–90], correlated with their energy intake (1993 ± 597 kcal/d, r=0.41, P<0.05) and food quotient (0.85 ± 0.02, r=0.42, P<0.05), which remained significant with both variables by a multivariate regression analysis (r=0.51, P<0.05).
For the 17/24 patients with a hepatic fibrosis, the energy intake was lower (fibrosis: 1863 ± 503 versus others: 2382 ± 733 kcal/d, P<0.05), and their food quotients did not differ from patients without fibrosis.
Hepatic steatosis was related to the energy and carbohydrate intakes in our patients; the role of dietary carbohydrates was detectable in the range of usual carbohydrate intake: 32% to 58% calories.
