Eating behaviors and liver health in metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease: the serial mediating roles of Mediterranean diet adherence and adiposity
The results support the presence of indirect associations linking eating behavior scores to liver enzyme levels via Mediterranean diet adherence and adiposity, particularly in the context of MAFLD. These pathways point to potentially modifiable behavioral and dietary targets, while underscoring the need for confirmation through prospective and interventional studies.
