DAHO: Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (2021)

• Intervention
  In adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), what is the effect of Mediterranean diet intake compared to usual or other therapeutic diet intake on blood lipids?

  • Conclusion

    In adults with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, there is likely no effect of Mediterranean diet intake compared to a low fat diet intake on triglycerides, total, LDL or HDL cholesterol.   

  • Grade: Low (C)
    • Grade I means there is Good/Strong evidence supporting the statement;
    • Grade II is Fair;
    • Grade III is Limited/Weak;
    • Grade IV is Expert Opinion Only;
    • Grade V is Not Assignable.
    • High (A) means we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect;
    • Moderate (B) means we are moderately confident in the effect estimate;
    • Low (C) means our confidence in the effect estimate is limited;
    • Very Low (D) means we have very little confidence in the effect estimate.
    • Ungraded means a grade is not assignable.
