Adherence to the Planetary Health Diet Index Significantly Lowers MASLD Risk: A Global and Individual-Level Analysis
Highlights
- Adherence to the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) is inversely associated with the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
- Global country-level data suggests a non-linear, U-shaped association with maximum protection observed at a PHDI score of 50.69.
- Individual-level analysis (NHANES) demonstrates a robust linear relationship where higher PHDI adherence correlates with lower MASLD incidence.
- Sociodemographic disparities exist, with lower adherence noted among men, younger populations, and rural residents, identifying key targets for public health intervention.
