Core Tip	The study introduces the Exercise and Diet Adherence Scale (EDAS), a robust tool for assessing patient adherence to lifestyle interventions in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Developed using the Delphi method, the EDAS consists of 33 items across six dimensions, offering a comprehensive evaluation. Results indicate its significant correlation with key lifestyle indicators, allowing for precise differentiation of adherence levels. Clinically relevant thresholds make the EDAS a practical and valuable instrument for identifying patients with poor adherence. This contribution holds promise for advancing NAFLD research and enhancing clinical interventions through a targeted focus on lifestyle adherence assessment.
