Diagnose NAFLD by performing ultrasound examination, resistin and adiponectin examination with ELISA (Sandwich Immunoassay), liver function according to IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry), and albumin checked by BCG method. Result: There were 67 patients (NM=32, OW=15, OB=20) NAFLD with an average age of 42.1± 11.9 years,  Comparison of NAFLD risk factors in normoweight, overweight, and obesity, showing very significant results (all p<0.001). There is a very significant correlation between BMI and all NAFLD risk factors (all p<0.001). Conclusion: There are very significant correlates between BMI and all inflammatory factors of NAFLD.
