Title: Total polyunsaturated fatty acid intake and the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in
Chinese Han adults: a secondary analysis based on a case-control study
Version: 0 Date: 24 Sep 2021
Reviewer's report:
This study investigated the effect of total polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) consumption on
the risk of NAFLD in Chinese Han population. The results suggested that PUFA intake could
reduce the risk of NAFLD, and the total PUFA intake ranging betweeen 18.8 and 29.3 g/day
independently characterizes NAFLD. This is an interesting study and provides some useful
opinion to prevent the risk of NAFLD.
1. How to evalute the PUFA intake according to the questionnaire, whether each food contain
the unique concentrations of PUFA? The authors should describe this carefully.
2. What is the meaning of one-onset?
3. The Englishi written should be improved carefully.
4. According to this study, it is obvious that PUFA could reduce the risk of NAFLD, therefore,
the authors should provide some diet guide in the discussion section for the public.
5. In the conclusions in Abstract, “Total PUFA intake ranging between 18.8 and 29.3 g/
day independently characterizes NAFLD”, whether this conclusion could prove the causal
relationship of PUFA intake ranging between 18.8 and 29.3 g/day and the incidence of NAFLD?
