| description | <strong>Background:</strong> Diagnosing patients with metabolic syndrome is important because of the high prevalence and risk they present. <strong><br />Objective: </strong>to determine the behaviour of some clinical, anthropometric and laboratory variables in patients with metabolic syndrome. <strong><br />Methods:</strong> A descriptive study was conducted. The sample included 161 patients selected at random in different research stages from a universe including all the patients who attended six different consultations in Urbano Noris municipality, Holguín, from September 2008 to June 2009. Diagnosis was performed according to the ATP-III. Variance analysis and Fisher's exact test in SPSS (α = 0.05) were applied. <strong><br />Results:</strong> Patients with metabolic syndrome (n = 103: 63.97%) presented values over average weight, height, waist circumference, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, plasma cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and glucose. Their HDL levels were lower. A significant association between metabolic syndrome and CRP, microalbuminuria, alterations in blood sugar levels and hypertension was proved. <strong><br />Conclusions: </strong>The importance of characterizing the metabolic syndrome for future interventions was determined. |
