Effect of Indo-Mediterranean diet versus calorie-restricted diet in children
(nlm.nih.gov)
Dietary interventions and increased physical activity are the cornerstones for management of the paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Though, no specific diet has been proven superior, Indo-Mediterranean diet (IMD) has shown promise in adult literature. Thus, we aimed to compare the effect of IMD and a standard calorie-restricted diet (CRD) in Indian overweight children and adolescents with biopsy-proven NAFLD.
