Title: Impact of dietary compositions and patterns on the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease in Japanese men: a cross-sectional study
Version: 1 Date: 02 Apr 2021
Reviewer:  Shahinul Alam
Reviewer's report:
Due to its cross section design, causal relationship between dietary pattern and NAFLD couldn't
be investigated.
Dietary, exercise and smoking behaviors were determined using self reported questionnaires,
which could be influenced by subject's biases including under and over reporting.
This is a small scale study.
Please justify the sample size.
Effect of confounding variables (exercise, seating time, sedentary life)were not removed. Table
3 is not good for understanding.
