Typical dietary patterns have been difficult to identifywith controversial information. We aimed to estimate in a represen-tative sample of the Portuguese adult population, what was thecontribution of the dietary pattern in what concerns macronutrientsand food groups for the presence of steatosis as well as the othertraditional risk factors for steatosis.engHepatic SteatosisPortuguese PopulationAdultsDoenças Cardio e Cérebro-vascularesHepatic steatosis in an adult population: stronger correlation with the presence of obesity and insulin resistence than with the dietary pattern: results from a cross-sectional studyconference object10.1016/S0168-8278(18)31924-X
