Aim and Objectives: To study cardiovascular disease risk factors among NAFLD patients aiming to reduce morbidity and mortality. Methodology: This was a cross sectional comparative study. Cardiovascular risk factors questionnaire including personal data, BMI, lipid profile, blood pressure was used to obtain the data from 150 patients with ultrasound diagnosed NAFLD and 150 patients with no evidence of NAFLD at Umm Al Qura University medical center, Makkah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
