BACKGROUND _ AIMS: @entity1560 is associated with @entity285 habits and/or overweight/ @entity28 . We challenged several lifestyle features associated with @entity1560 and, particularly, with @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ). Among them, sleep shortage as a result of nightlife habits and a preference for plus-size fashion were assessed. The latter consists of fashionable plus-sized clothing for actual individuals' size and reflects a frequent attitude of some social or age groups, conceivably indicating more global and widespread trend and behaviour. METHODS: We studied a group of 708 non-diabetic youngsters, 458 @entity1 and 250 @entity1 , 21.72    3.71 years old (range 15-35 years), referred for minor digestive ailments for clinical assessment, ultrasound detection of @entity1560 and nutritional counselling. Details of personal history regarding lifestyle, food intake frequency and @entity285 intake, dietary and physical exercise profile, sleep duration and clothing preferences were recorded. RESULTS: The prevalence of @entity1561 in this cohort of youngsters is 67/708 (9.4%). Even if it is quantitatively very low in both groups, the average @entity285 intake, always below 20 g/day, is greater in @entity1561 subjects (5.83    4.32 g) vs. subjects with normal liver (2.02    3.20 g). The number of meals/day and adherence to a Mediterranean diet profile are smaller in @entity1561 subjects. By multiple regression, BMI, sedentary life, plus-sized clothing for their actual size, sleep shortage and lower frequency of daily food intake are associated with the presence of @entity1561 . CONCLUSIONS: Onset and continuation of @entity409 , beyond food and exercise quantity and quality, with their effects on @entity28 , may also be associated with other aspects of lifestyle.

XXXX and lifestyle in youngsters: diet, food intake frequency, exercise, sleep shortage and fashion.
