Objective: To evaluate the association between Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Metabolic Syndrome (MS). Methods: linical and prospective study, survey type, with data collected in an ultrasound reference center in Aracaju-SE. The data collection process was divided in three stages. The obtained data were analyzed statistically by software R, version 3.6.1. Results: A total of 527 patients, of both sexes, aged between 14 and 89 years old, were analyzed. In the sample, 29.1% had some degree of non-alcoholic liver steatosis and 70.9% did not have fatty infiltration in the liver. Most patients were female (n = 356; 67.6%) and did not have MS (n = 410; 79.5%). The absence of MS showed a lower tendency for the patient to present some degree of hepatic fat. There was a statistically significant association between Waist Circumference (WC), Body Mass Index (BMI) and body weight in relation to the degrees of hepatic steatosis. Conclusion: Anthropometric measurements of BMI, WC and body weight, as well as the presence of MS, were presented as factors of severity for NAFLD.
