Table 2. Evaluation of anthropometric measurements and laboratory findings of the patients by groups.
Statistics: one-way analysis of variance: posthoc = Scheffe alpha test.
*Independent Student’s t-test. It shows the statistical significance between NAS and NASH.
**It shows the statistical importance in one-way analysis of variance: posthoc = Scheffe test.
Note: Data are presented as mean ± SD.
