Adoption of sedentary life style and westernized diet are shown to be associated with development of NAFLD. Since previous studies suggested that calcium (Ca) to magnesium (Mg) ratio intake is associated with some chronic diseases including dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, we designed this study to find any possible association between this ratio and NAFLD development.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The NAFLD was diagnosed using Fibroscan according to a CAP cut-off value of 263 dB\/m. Dietary intakes of one hundred and ninety-six patients with incident NAFLD diagnosis, and eight hundred and three controls without NAFLD were assessed using a valid food frequency questionnaire (FFQ).

In addition, energy-adjusted daily calcium to magnesium intake ratio was 2.34\u2009\u00b1\u20090.57 and 2.73\u2009\u00b1\u20090.69 for control and case groups, respectively. In the multivariable-adjusted model, after adjustment for potential confounding variables; including, age, gender, BMI, alcohol consumption, smoking, diabetes, physical activity, energy, dietary fiber, carbohydrate, fat, and protein intakes, participants in the third (Q3) and fourth (Q4) quartile of Ca\/Mg ratio intake had a greater development of incidental NAFLD compared to the lowest quartile (Q1) [(OR\u2009=\u20092.86; 95\u2009% CI: 1.20\u20136.81), (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-value\u2009=\u20090.017) and (OR\u2009=\u20095.97; 95\u2009% CI: 2.54\u201314.01), (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>-value\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) for Q3 and Q4 compared to the Q1, respectively].
