Association between dietary inflammatory index and hepatic steatosis: cross-sectional evidence from the NHANES 2007–2020
Our findings reveal a significant association between the DII score and hepatic steatosis. This suggests that dietary patterns with lower inflammatory potential may be associated with a reduced prevalence of hepatic steatosis. However, given the inherent limitations of the cross-sectional study design, further longitudinal studies or intervention trials are necessary to ensure such an association.
