The prevalence of NAFLD (43%) among PCOS patients is high despite their average young age, with several metabolic and PCOS-specific factors influencing its occurrence. Screening programs may aid in detecting metabolic-associated fatty liver disease and prevent its consequences. Further work is required to establish the burden of liver-related outcomes once NAFLD has progressed in the PCOS population.
