Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multifactorial condition that affects 25% of the world’s population. There is a clear difference in both geographical distribution and sex in childbearing age. These differences are reduced when women become older and senescence begins. The factors that affect the likelihood of developing NAFLD in a premenopausal woman are an imbalance of sex hormones (especially in estradiol and androgen), microbiome dysregulation, insulin resistance, early menarche, the length of time that the woman breastfeeds for and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this review is to identify various physical ailments that may not appear to be serious to young women but that then affect the onset of NAFLD in perimenopause and can degenerate into NASH. These conditions should also be considered in future clinical management, as well as in research opportunities, in order to customize the monitoring and treatment of NAFLD, considering gender medicine for those women who had early metabolic symptoms that were not considered to be significant at the time.
