What is new?
We have shown that coffee consumption has beneficial effect on CAP and
LSM and that effect is dose dependent since the positive effect of
coffee consumption was the most pronounced in the frequent users. This
effect was independent of a variety of relevant confounders.
Additionally, we have shown that optimal sleep duration (6-8 hours per
day) has also beneficial effect on CAP and LSM. Since sleep
insufficiency is a common problem today and since coffee is a widely
accessible and relatively low-cost beverage, present study can have
considerable public health implications for the relationships between
lifestyle factors and NAFLD epidemic
