The demographic data and consent, body mass index and liver enzymes and grade fatty liver for all persons were recorded. T, chi-square, ANOVA was used to compare the data. Results: Our results showed that increasing the degree of NAFLD is directly correlated with the increased BMI (P>0.001), liver enzymes (AST and ALT) and the ratio of ALT to AST (P>0.001).
