Objective: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been known as the most frequent type of liver disease, with the occurrence of 20% to 30% in developed countries and 33.9% in Iran. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence of fatty liver among high-risk individuals and its predictive factors. Materials and Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study was performed on 70 men and women, aged 32–62 and BMI ≥25, who were divided into 2 groups: 1) the patient group (n = 45) with positive results of fatty liver disease, and 2) the healthy group (n = 25). An anthropometry assessment (weight and BMI), blood tests (AST, ALT, FBS, TC, and TG), and determination of fatty liver grade were done. Results: In our study, the rate of NAFLD was 64 among 100 susceptible individuals (BMI ≥25). We found significant differences in sex (P = 0.020), weight (P < 0.001), BMI (P = 0.001), AST (P |
