Abstract

for trend = 0.50). Similar results were observed when taurine intake was adjusted for total energy intake using the residual method and nutrient density method or body weight. In addition, subgroup analyses generally yielded consistent findings. In conclusion, habitual dietary taurine intake is not significantly associated with the risk of MASLD in the general adult population, suggesting that dietary taurine intake alone may not be sufficient to prevent the onset of MASLD.
