Commentary
A few studies investigated the Mediterranean diet in developing countries, especially middle east countries where dietary patterns are different from other parts of the world. This case-control study aimed to examine the association between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and NAFLD in Iranian adults.
For the authors, “high adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with a 64 % reduction in NAFLD odds before some anthropometric variable adjustments. However, further prospective studies are required, particularly in BMI-stratified models.”
