Genotyping, ethnicity, body mass index and the metabolic syndrome are believed to affect progression of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, but the interaction between these factors is unidentified whereas, it is believed that environmental and host factors mutually impact on HCVrelated liver disease within ethnic groups; we designed this cohort study in order to elucidate the factors responsible for HCV infection prevalence in Iranian populations.
