on-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common type of liver disease. Obesity is considered as predictor of
the risk of developing the disease in the general population. This study was carried out aimed to determine the relationship
between BMI and non-alcoholic fatty liver in patients and compare it to the healthy group. This case-observational study was
carried out on 436 patients with NAFLD and 737 healthy individuals. Height, weight and body mass index were measured in
all subjects. Statistical analysis was performed using T-test and logistic regression model. P<0.05 was considered as significance
level. The mean age of patients was 42 years. A significant difference was observed in mean weight and BMI in the patients
group. The mean BMI in patients with NAFLD and in healthy subjects was 27 and 25.04 respectively. According to the results,
there was a significant relationship between overweight (30<BMI≤25) and obesity (BMI>30) and there is a risk of NAFLD
(P<0.001), and it was also found that abdominal obesity increases the risk of NAFLD. No significant difference was observed
in BMI indices of patients with NAFLD and healthy people. Abdominal and local obesity are considered as important line
factors for talent to NAFLD.
