Dataset Of Dietary Patterns, Anthropometric Indices, and Biochemical Markers in Adults with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Insights for Metabolic Health Research

Dietary: Energy intake (2899.61 ± 783.33 kcal) via three 24-hour recalls. Physical Activity: Levels (63.2% low, 30.7% moderate, 6.1% high). Biochemical: Triglycerides (186.32 ± 84.66 mg/dL), cholesterol (193.97 ± 37.65 mg/dL), LDL-C (113.74 ± 30.02 mg/dL), HDL-C (42.12 ± 11.68 mg/dL), glucose (95.35 ± 8.71 mg/dL), ALT (54.69 ± 32.35 U/L), AST (37.19 ± 19.06 U/L).

NAFLD Severity: Grades (24.6% grade 1, 63.2% grade 2, 12.2% grade 3). Table 2: Food Groups and Factor LoadingsLists 23 food groups (e.g., vegetables, red meat) with factor loadings (>0.2) for healthy and unhealthy dietary patterns (KMO: 0.571; Bartlett’s: χ² = 1074.60, p < 0.001). Table 3: Associations with Metabolic FactorsShows dietary pattern associations with BMI, HDL-C, cholesterol, and NAFLD grades via regression (e.g., healthy pattern: lower BMI, p=0.041; higher HDL-C, p=0.040; unhealthy pattern: higher cholesterol, p=0.007).

Data Collection Participants had NAFLD, no chronic diseases, special diets, smoking, or alcohol use.

Methods

Demographic: Questionnaires. Anthropometric: Seca scale, wall-mounted tape. Dietary: 24-hour recalls.

Physical Activity: IPAQ-SF. Biochemical: Blood analysis (Pars Azmoon kit). NAFLD: Samsung RS80A ultrasonography.

Accessibility Available at data.mendeley.com/drafts/tgfp8r7d7g, with an SPSS output file for analysis. Supports exploratory analyses, interventions, meta-analyses, and policy development. Value From an underrepresented region, this dataset informs NAFLD research with reliable data, despite limitations (e.g., sampling bias, recall bias, cross-sectional design).

Ethics Follows Declaration of Helsinki, with consent and approval (IR.TBZMED.REC.1402.750). Supported by Nutrition Research Center, Tabriz (ID: 73108). ***The dataset is also provided as an SPSS output file, facilitating direct statistical analysis for researchers using SPSS software.
