It also investigates the disease's progression and compares clinical, biochemical, and radiological parameters at baseline and follow-up of patients with NAFLD. This study was done between two groups of patients: obese and those of average body weight.  Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2014 and 2018 through retrieved data from medical records. It included all children aged between six to 18 years diagnosed with NAFLD.
