Title: Prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in North
East of Iran: a population-based study
Version: 0 Date: 21 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
The study investigated the prevalence, characteristics, and risk factors of NAFLD in POCM.
Overall, the paper is well-written, but there are a few issues in the Methods section that should
be clarified and corrected.
Methods:
- In line 5 of section 2.2, "y" should be changed to "gr."
- While it is stated that viral hepatitis is one of the exclusion criteria for the study, but section
2.2, line 14 does mention this as a potential underlying disease alongside diabetes mellitus,
hypertension, etc.  It would be advisable to update this section to ensure that viral hepatitis is
correctly accounted for as an exclusion criterion.
- The Methods section should include a clear explanation of how WC, BMI, and BFT were
determined in the subjects, as well as the preparation for the biochemical tests performed on the
subjects. If the findings are published in a previous study, please reference it.
