We aimed (i) to assess the anti-inflammatory diet profile and its association with transient elastography parameters, including liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), and (ii) to analyse the relationship between the anti-inflammatory diet and surrogate markers of liver disease in a multiethnic US population. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on a nationally representative population of 4189 US adults aged 20-80 years. A FibroScan (R) 502 V2 device (Echosens) was used to estimate the CAP and LSM. Liver markers, including the aspartate transaminase (AST) to alanine transaminase (ALT) ratio, fatty liver index (FLI) and fibrosis-4 score, were also calculated. The Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) was calculated using a 24-h diet recall. Results Lower DII scores (anti-inflammatory diet) were associated with a lower AST:ALT ratio (p PB Wiley SN 0952-3871 YR 2021 FD 2021-11-15 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10668/28011 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10668/28011 LA en DS RISalud RD Apr 6, 2025
