Article Synopsis
- PCOS is a common endocrine disorder in women of childbearing age, with a significant number (28% to 46%) also experiencing metabolic syndrome, which is linked to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
- A study involving 131 women (101 with PCOS and 30 controls) aimed to determine the prevalence of NAFLD and metabolic syndrome in PCOS patients and explore any correlations between the two.
- Results showed that NAFLD was present in 23.8% of the PCOS group compared to 3.3% in controls, and metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in about one-third of the PCOS patients, indicating a notable association between PCOS and these metabolic conditions.
