Abstract

The objective of this paper is to characterize the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients of offices in the city of Divinópolis during the period of 2005-2007. Method: A selection through an electronic archive has been made during two years. Measurements of the (body mass index (BMI), the relation between the measure of the waist and the hip (RCQ), the systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and the diastolic (DAP), the levels of glicemy during fasting, total cholesterol and triglycerides, have benn colected. Results: The prevalence of the hypertension in the men group has increased from 15,3% (in the overweight individuals –BMI 25 –29.9 kg/m²) to 87% in patients with obesity of the third degree (BMI ≥ 40 Kg/ m² m²). In the female population the raise from 33.3% (in the overweight group –BMI 25-29.2 kg/ m²) to 42.3 % in patients with the obesity of the third degree (BMI ≥40 kg/m²) hasn’t been so expressive. 56% of the patients that belong to the total of the analyzed population are carrying on the metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: The metabolic syndrome has become more common in the population. The excess of corporal fat, the hypertension and the dyslipidemia are closely related to the metabolic syndrome. However, the appropriate feeding combined to other modifications in the life style, such as regular practice of physical activity, the consumption of healthy food will contribute for a better control of the disease.
