The final path analysis model for the relationship between NRF9.3 and NAFLD. The numbers on the paths represent standardized regression coefficients (standardized effects). The bold-face coefficients represent values for women, and the coefficients below them represent values for men. The significance level of the comparison of each effect between men and women is depicted by asterisks (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001). Pink arrows refer to females whereas blue arrows refer to males. NRF9.3, Nutrient-Rich Food Index 9.3, HBA1c Hemoglobin A1c, MetS Metabolic syndrome, CRP c-reactive protein, NAFLD non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
