The findings of this one suggest that a high adherence to a diet that is rich in protein and unsaturated fatty acids may have beneficial long-term effects on liver fat and lipid metabolism in older subjects.
- An increased intake of protein, total fat, MUFA, PUFA and fiber as well as a decreased consumption of SFAs was achieved in the intervention group.
- Adjusted for baseline intrahepatic lipids, age, sex and BMI change, a reduction of intrahepatic lipids by 33.3% was seen in the intervention group, but the median reduction was not statistically significantly compared to the control group.
