This study aims to identify the nutrients affecting the FAST score in nonalcoholic fatty liver patients. Between July 2018 and June 2019, 85 patients who had fatty liver on abdominal computed tomography or ultrasonography were investigated for dietary nutrient intake. There were low intakes of total energy, dietary fat, unsaturated fatty acid, and vitamin E in patients with a high FAST score compared to those with a low FAST score. The logistic regression analysis performed for factors associated with the FAST score showed that age and intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids were significant. In patients with a high FAST score, polyunsaturated fatty acids might be necessary.
