Article Synopsis
  • Recent research indicates that the Baltic Sea diet score (BSDS) and the healthy Nordic diet index (HNDI) have positive impacts on chronic diseases but their effects on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were previously unexplored.
  • A study involving 552 healthy individuals and 340 NAFLD patients used a food frequency questionnaire to analyze participants' dietary adherence and applied binary logistic regression to assess the relationship with NAFLD.
  • The results revealed that higher adherence to the HNDI significantly reduced the risk of NAFLD, and those with higher BSDS scores also showed a lower likelihood of developing the disease, indicating that a healthy Nordic diet could be crucial in preventing NAFLD.
