With this aspect, the current study offers a new perspective on the management of NAFLD. However, there is a lack of information about the association between amount of visceral adipose tissue (VAT) which is an important factor for fat accumulation in liver, presence of diabetes, metabolic syndrome (MetS), hyperlipidemia, and NAFLD. Therefore, we would like to make some important contributions in this regard.</abstract><web_url>http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/2513</web_url><pdf_url>http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/2513/717718354</pdf_url></Article></Articles>
