The present study found an obvious association between NAFLD and GSD. This study also showed a significant association between increasing waist circumference and risk of GSD. We recommend that patients with GSD should be evaluated for the likelihood of NAFLD and its treatment in addition to lifestyle changes to gain proper weight. However, further researches are needed to clarify the relationship between the nature of GSD, NAFLD, and obesity.
