Description
Summary:Abstract Background Poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle can contribute to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Objective Our aim was to compare diet and physical activity of patients with NAFLD and healthy controls with current recommendations. Design This was a cross-sectional study. Participants/settings Seventy-four patients with biopsy-proven NAFLD (33 simple steatosis and 41 steatohepatitis [NASH]) and 27 healthy controls participated between 2003 and 2011. Main outcome measures Food records and activity logs were completed for 7 days. Results were compared with Dietary Reference Intakes and Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines. Plasma vitamin C was measured to assess food record accuracy. Statistical analyses performed Intake/activity for each participant was compared with the recommendations and proportion of subjects not meeting the requirements was calculated. Groups were compared by Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U test or z -test with Bonferroni adjustment. Results More patients with NASH (58.5%) were obese compared with patients with simple steatosis (24.2%) and healthy controls (7.4%; P
