It is hypothesized that diet may play an important role in the regulation of metabolic syndrome factors and influence the process. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the specific dietary patterns associated with metabolic syndrome markers and quantify the possible effects of dietary patterns among Bahrain older adults. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that included 151 Bahraini patients diagnosed with MetS, 89 (58.7%) were females and 62 (41.3%) males. Results: The prevalence of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver was 89%. Statistically significant correlations were found between dairy products with low fat and SBP (r = 0.182, p &lt; 0.001) body mass index (BMI) (r = \u22120.195; p &lt; \u22120.01). Higher chicken consumption was associated with reduction of BMI (r = \u22120.273; p &lt; \u22120.01). A higher consumption of ricotta and cheddar cheese (high in fat) was associated with higher levels of triglycerides (p &lt; 0.01). Higher frequent consumption of rice (basmati) was associated with lower glucose levels (r = \u22120.200; p &lt; \u22120.01). Fatty liver has been associated with high consumption of cream cheese (p &lt; 0.01). Conclusion: In older Bahraini adults with metabolic syndrome, higher frequency of food consumption of full-fat cheese was linked with a derangement of lipid profile and Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver. Positive effects on BMI have been recorded with higher-frequency consumption of basmati rice and chicken.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/geriatrics7040075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,20]],"date-time":"2022-07-20T11:22:24Z","timestamp":1658316144000},"page":"75","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Cheese Intake Exhibits an Alteration of Glycolipid Profile and Impacts on Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver in Bahraini Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2720-1473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simone","family":"Perna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, College of Science, University of Bahrain, Sakhir P.O.
