Comparative study of overweight and obese patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

CONCLUSIONS: NASH was more prevalent in obese patients than in overweight subjects. HOMA-IR and adherence to the Mediterranean diet provided protection against fibrosis in overweight patients. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet was the only independent factor associated with NASH in these patients. PMID: 30746959 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
