Abstract
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine and metabolic dysfunction ranging from 6% to 20% among premenopausal females that imposes a huge healthcare burden worldwide. A strong association has been reported between markers of metabolic dysfunction such as visceral obesity and insulin resistance with both PCOS and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Different studies showed the prevalence of NAFLD among PCOS females ranging from 34% to 70%, which is higher than the general population, and this points toward some association between both these entities. Attributed to underlying metabolic syndrome, both NAFLD and PCOS have been reported to be associated with higher morbidity and mortality. This chapter aims to review the various aspects of the link between PCOS and NAFLD.
