  Environmental-behavior determinants of Fatty-Liver Index (FLI) and of Non-Alcoholic Fatty-Liver Disease (NAFLD) responsiveness to a Lifestyle Modification (LiSM) were investigated in a dynamic cohort study. Baseline-data analysis of 1030 subjects (2005-2017) included medical, dietary (24h-food intake questionnaire and Healthy Eating Index-HEI calculation), physical activity (IPAQ), anthropometry, and plasma biochemistry. An algorithm based on BMI (Body Mass Index), waist circumference, triglycerides, and GGT (Gamma Glutamyl Transferase) was used to develop the FLI, which varies between 0 and 100 with FLI ≥ 60 ruling in NAFLD. Longitudinal analyses from 583 subjects submitted to a 10-wk LiSM intervention with daily supervised mixed-physical exercises (5x/wk, 80min/session/60-80% VO2max) and dietary counseling. FLI values were split into quartiles (.. Read More»
