Association of the habitual dietary intake with the fatty liver index and effect modification by metabotypes in the population-based KORA-Fit study

Table 5 Effects of substitution of carbohydrates by macronutrients (per 5 energy percent) on Fatty Liver Index^a

Per 5 energy-% increase	ß-estimate	95% CI	p-value
SFA	-6.324	(-14.391; 1.744)	0.124
MUFA	11.482	(1.129; 21.836)	*0.03*
PUFA	-23.332	(-40.003; -6.662)	*0.006*
Protein	26.121	(18.825; 33.416)	< *0.001*
Alcohol	0.775	(-3.384; 4.934)	0.715

^aSubstitution models contained total energy intake, SFA, MUFA, PUFA, protein, and alcohol intake. Estimates are therefore interpreted as the association of FLI with a 5 E% increase in e.g. PUFA at the expense of carbohydrates while energy supply from other macronutrients remains unchanged; linear regression models adjusted for sex, age, physical activity, education years, smoking status and energy intake.
