- Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gallstone disease (GD) are considered the manifestations of metabolic syndrome in the liver and gallbladder. NAFLD and GD are closely related to insulin resistance (IR), obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal glucose metabolism, and so on. Worldwide studies, which have been reviewed, show that both NAFLD and GD have the common risk factors, such as IR, obesity, dyslipidemia, abnormal glucose metabolism, and middle - aged and elderly women. NAFLD is the risk factor for GD. GD, closely related to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis, accelerates the progression of NAFLD. Thus, it is considered that the prevention and treatment of NAFLD can reduce the incidence of GD, a d the progression of NAFLD can be delayed by the prevention and treatment of GD.
