This study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal association between sweet potato intake and risk of NAFLD in the general adult population. In total, the number of 15,787 participants (males, 42.4%) was included in this prospective cohort study. Sweet potato intake was assessed by using a validated food frequency questionnaire. NAFLD was diagnosed by transabdominal sonography during an annual health examination. Cox proportional hazards regression models were fitted to assess the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across categories of energy-adjusted sweet potato intake. Compared to participants with the lowest tertile of sweet potato intake, the finally adjusted HRs (95% CIs) of incident NAFLD for those with the highest tertile were 0.87 (0.78, 0.97) in males ( for trend = 0.009); and 1.05 (0.92, 1.21) in females ( for trend = 0.52). Our study revealed that sweet potato intake was inversely associated with the risk of NAFLD in males.
本研究旨在评估一般成年人群中甘薯摄入量与非酒精性脂肪性肝病 (NAFLD) 风险之间的纵向关联。在这项前瞻性队列研究中,共纳入了 15787 名参与者(男性占 42.4%)。通过使用经过验证的食物频率问卷评估甘薯摄入量。NAFLD 通过年度健康检查时的腹部超声诊断。使用 Cox 比例风险回归模型评估能量调整后甘薯摄入量各分类的风险比 (HR) 和 95%置信区间 (CI)。与甘薯摄入量最低三分位的参与者相比,最高三分位的男性新发 NAFLD 的最终调整 HR(95%CI)为 0.87(0.78,0.97)(趋势检验=0.009);女性为 1.05(0.92,1.21)(趋势检验=0.52)。我们的研究表明,男性甘薯摄入量与 NAFLD 风险呈负相关。
