Dietary Quality Indices and Biochemical Parameters Among Patients With Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

Dietary Quality Indices and Biochemical Parameters Among Patients With Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)

BACKGROUND Dietary intake might have important role in non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases (NAFLD). Although, there are some reports on dietary intake and anthropometrics measurements, few studies have focused on the markers of assessing whole diet like dietary quality indices. OBJECTIVES Therefore, our aim was to determine the diet quality indices and biochemical parameters among patients wit...

The prevalence and severity of NAFLD increase with obesity (Flegal et al. 1998 & 2003). Since obesity is known to have a genetic etiology, we propose that genetic factors influence susceptibility...

The effect of Ramadan fasting on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare biochemical tests, body composition and anthropometric parameters in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) patients before and after Ramadan fasting. Methods: fifty NAFLD patients including 33 males and 17 females aged 18-65 year, were recruited. Subjects attended after diagnosis based on  ultrasound imaging, with at least 10 hour fasting, before...
