Dietary patterns such as the Mediterranean and Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diets have been suggested to improve metabolic and hepatic outcomes; however, evidence regarding their association with biochemical markers in individuals with MASLD remains limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and MIND diet score with biochemical parameters in individuals diagnosed with MASLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study included 411 individuals aged 18 to 65 years diagnosed with MASLD.
