Abstract:

Results: Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 42.7%(n= 952), higher in the mens group. The combination with the highest coronary risk was Low HDL-Hypertriacilglyceridemia-Hypertension. In multiple logistic regression model, the most important risk factors were: gender, age, smoking, insulin resistance and hypertension; physical activity was considered a protective factor. Conclusions: Metabolic syndrome is highly prevalent in our locality. Abdominal circumference was the most frequent observed component suggesting the need for several actions, such as the identification of a proper cut-off point according to this population allowing proper detection and intervention.
