ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: Se ha postulado la relación entre la presencia de enfermedades cardiometabólicas con problemas de salud mental, en particular la depresión. OBJETIVOS: Determinar la asociación entre la presencia de enfermedades cardiometabólicas y la presencia de sintomatología depresiva evaluada mediante el cuestionario PHQ-9 en pacientes atendidos en consultorios externos de medicina interna del Hospital Nacional Hipólito Unanue. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio observacional, analítico, transversal. Se definió enfermedad cardiometabólica como la presencia de diabetes mellitus, hipertensión arterial, dislipidemia, y/u obesidad. Se utilizó el cuestionario PHQ-9 para evaluar la presencia de síntomas sugerentes de depresión. Se evaluó la asociación cruda y ajustada a posibles confusores. Para el análisis multivariado se utilizó un modelo de regresión de Poisson para hallar razones de prevalencia con sus respectivos intervalos de confianza al 95%. Se consideró un p<0,05 como estadísticamente significativo. Resultados: Se incluyeron 252 pacientes, de los que 205 (81,4%) presentaron enfermedades cardiometabólicas y 181 (71,9%) presentaron síntomas consistentes con algún grado de depresión. La presencia de enfermedades cardiometabólicas se asoció a síntomas depresivos tanto en el análisis crudo (RPc 1,43; IC 95% 1,08-1,89; p=0,012) como en el ajustado (RPa 1,31; IC 95% 1,00-1,71; p=0,048). Adicionalmente se encontró asociación entre el sexo femenino y sintomatología depresiva (RPa 1,35; IC 95% 1,11-1,63; p=0,002). CONCLUSIONES: La presencia de enfermedades cardiometabólicas se asoció con la presencia de síntomas depresivos en pacientes atendidos en la consulta externa de medicina interna. El abordaje de la salud mental debe ser parte integral del manejo multidisciplinario del paciente con enfermedad cardiometabólica.


INTRODUCTION: It has been postulated the relationship between presence of cardiometabolic diseases with mental health problems, particularly depression. Objectives: To determine the association between cardiometabolic diseases and presence of depressive symptoms, evaluated by PHQ-9 questionnaire, in patients attended at the outpatient clinic of internal medicine service at Hospital Nacional Hipolito Unanue. METHODS: Observational analytical cross-sectional study. Cardiometabolic disease was defined as the presence of diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and/or obesity. The PHQ-9 questionnaire was used to evaluate the presence of symptoms suggestive of depression. The association was evaluated crude and adjusted for possible confounders. For the multivariate analysis, a Poisson regression model was used to find prevalence ratios with their respective 95% confidence intervals. A p<0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: 252 patients were included, of which 205 (81,4%) presented cardiometabolic diseases and 181 (71,9%) presented symptoms consistent with some grade of depression. The presence of cardiometabolic diseases was associated with depressive symptoms both in the crude analysis (PRc 1.43; CI 95% 1.08-1.89; p=0.012) and in the adjusted one (PRa 1.31; CI 95% 1.00-1.71; p=0.048). Additionally, an association was found between female sex and depressive symptoms (PRa 1,35; CI 95% 1,11-1,63; p=0,002). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of cardiometabolic diseases was associated with the presence of depressive symptoms in patients seen at the outpatient clinic of internal medicine. The mental health approach should be an integral part of the multidisciplinary management for the patient with cardiometabolic disease.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN La comorbilidad médica en pacientes con trastornos del estado de ánimo tiende a convertirse en un problema de salud pública clínica y global cada vez más importante. Varias patologías médicas específicas están asociadas con un mayor riesgo de padecer trastornos del estado de ánimo y, por otra parte, los trastornos del estado de ánimo están asociados con un aumento de la morbilidad y mortalidad debidas a condiciones médicas comórbidas. En este artículo se revisan las comorbilidades médicas que más comúnmente se asocian a los trastornos afectivos (enfermedades cardiovasculares, obesidad y síndrome metabólico) examinando sus posibles implicaciones bidireccionales. MÉTODOS Se ha realizado una revisión no sistemática y búsqueda de la literatura científica sobre la asociación entre las tres enfermedades médicas más frecuentes en trastorno depresivo mayor y trastorno bipolar (enfermedades cardiovasculares, obesidad, síndrome metabólico) entre enero de 1995 y noviembre de 2019. RESULTADOS La evidencia sugiere que la comorbilidad entre estas tres enfermedades médicas y los trastornos del estado de ánimo es muy frecuente; la presencia de las primeras empeora significativamente el pronóstico y el manejo terapéutico de las segundas y viceversa, comparten mecanismos fisiopatológicos e implican una etiología aparentemente bidireccional. CONCLUSIONES La presencia de estas enfermedades médicas concurrentes en un individuo con un trastorno del estado de ánimo se asocia con una presentación de enfermedad más compleja. En muchos casos, estas comorbilidades pueden preceder a la aparición de los trastornos del estado de ánimo, aunque en la mayoría de los casos parecen seguir a la aparición de los trastornos del estado de ánimo. Para los profesionales, la evidencia apoya inequívocamente las recomendaciones para la vigilancia rutinaria de las comorbilidades según un enfoque multidisciplinar.


INTRODUCTION Medical comorbidity in patients with mood disorders tends to become an increasingly important clinical and global public health problem. On one hand, several specific medical pathologies are associated with an increased risk of mood disorders and on the other hand, mood disorders are associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to comorbid medical conditions. This article reviews the medical comorbidities that are most commonly associated with affective disorders (cardiovascular diseases, obesity and metabolic syndrome) examining their possible bidirectional implications. METHODS A non-systematic review about the association between the three most common medical diseases in major depressive disorder and bipolar affective disorder (cardiovascular diseases, obesity, metabolic syndrome) has been carried out from January 1995 to November 2019. RESULTS The evidence suggests that comorbidity between these three medical diseases and mood disorders is very prevalent. The presence of medical disease significantly worsens the prognosis and therapeutic management of the mood disorders and vice versa. In many cases, these comorbidities may precede the onset of mood disorders, although in most cases they appear to follow the onset of mood disorders. CONCLUSIONS the presence of these concurrent medical diseases in an individual with a mood disorder is associated with a more complex disease presentation. For professionals, the evidence unequivocally supports recommendations for routine surveillance of comorbidities according to a multidisciplinary approach.

ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and psychiatric disorders in young adults in southern Brazil. Methods: This population based cross-sectional study involved a total of 1,023 young adults between the ages of 21 and 32 years. Current episodes of psychiatric disorders were assessed using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview - Plus version. MetS was evaluated using the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP/ATP III). Results: Of the 1,023 participants, 24.3% were identified with MetS, 13.5% were diagnosed with anxiety disorders, 7.5% with current depression, 3.9% with bipolar disorders and 10.1% were at risk of suicide. MetS was associated with ethnicity (p = 0.022), excess weight (p < 0.001), current anxiety disorders (p < 0.001), current mood disorders (bipolar disorder in mood episode and current depression) (p < 0.001), and suicide risk (p < 0.001). Conclusions: MetS was associated with psychiatric disorders. Awareness of factors associated with MetS can help identify high-risk individuals and stimulate disease prevention and control programs, as well as lifestyle changes.

ABSTRACT

Background: Psychological stress and depressive symptoms are variables associated with metabolic syndrome (MetS). Aim: To determine the longitudinal association between psychological stress, depressive symptoms and MetS, and whether these variables predict MetS and its component trajectories. Material and Methods: Four hundred and twenty-three participants aged 44 ± 9 years (59% women), free of cardiovascular disease at baseline were enrolled into the Chilean study of psychological stress, obesity and MetS. Participants were followed-up for three years (three waves). Each year, they completed psychological questionnaires, anthropometric variables were measured, and blood samples were obtained. Results: Hierarchical linear regression showed that chronic psychological stress at baseline predicted the total number of MetS components (MetS score) during the third assessment wave (β = 0.147; p < 0.01). Growth curve modeling allowed to determine that participants who scored +1 standard deviation (SD) at baseline over the mean in psychological stress (βchronic stress = 0.903; 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 0.065; 1.741), and depressive symptoms (βdepressive symptoms = 2.482; 95% CI = 0.040; 4.923) had a higher waist circumference trajectory, as compared to those scoring −1 SD above the mean. Conclusions: Chronic psychological stress is longitudinally associated with the MetS score. Further, psychological stress and depressive symptoms at baseline predicted elevated MetS score trajectories, and a highest waist circumference.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Lifestyle intervention programs can reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and, therefore, reduce the risk for cardiac disease, one of the main public health problems nowadays. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three types of approach for lifestyle change programs in the reduction of metabolic parameters, and to identify its impact on the quality of life (QOL) of individuals with MetS. Methods: A randomized controlled trial included 72 individuals with MetS aged 30-59 years. Individuals were randomized into three groups of multidisciplinary intervention [Standard Intervention (SI) - control group; Group Intervention (GI); and Individual Intervention (II)] during 12 weeks. The primary outcome was change in the metabolic parameters, and secondarily, the improvement in QOL measures at three moments: baseline, 3 and 9 months. Results: Group and individual interventions resulted in a significant reduction in body mass index, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure at 3 months and the improvement of QOL, although it was significantly associated with the physical functioning domain. However, these changes did not remain 6 months after the end of intervention. Depression and anxiety were significantly associated with worse QOL, although they showed no effect on the response to intervention. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary intervention, especially in a group, might be an effective and economically feasible strategy in the control of metabolic parameters of MetS and improvement of QOL compared to SI, even in a dose-effect relationship.


Resumo Fundamento: Programas de intervenção em estilo de vida podem reduzir a prevalência de síndrome metabólica (SM) e, portanto, diminuir o risco de doença cardíaca, um dos principais problemas de saúde pública da atualidade. Objetivo: Comparar os efeitos de três tipos de abordagem para programas de mudança no estilo de vida visando à redução dos parâmetros metabólicos, assim como identificar seu impacto na qualidade de vida (QV) de indivíduos com SM. Métodos: Estudo randomizado controlado incluindo 72 indivíduos com SM com idade de 30 a 59 anos, que foram randomizados em três grupos de intervenção multidisciplinar [Intervenção Padrão (IP) - grupo controle; Intervenção em Grupo (IG); e Intervenção Individual (II)] por 12 semanas. O desfecho primário foi a mudança nos parâmetros metabólicos, e o secundário, a melhora nas medidas de QV em três momentos: condição basal, aos 3 e aos 9 meses. Resultados: As intervenções IG e II resultaram em uma significativa redução em índice de massa corporal, circunferência abdominal e pressão arterial sistólica, e em melhoras da QV aos 3 meses, embora significativamente associadas com o domínio 'capacidade funcional'. Tais mudanças, entretanto, não permaneceram 6 meses após o final da intervenção. Depressão e ansiedade associaram-se significativamente com pior QV, embora sem efeito na resposta à intervenção. Conclusão: A intervenção multidisciplinar, em especial em grupo, pode ser uma estratégia efetiva e economicamente possível para controlar os parâmetros metabólicos de SM e melhorar a QV quando comparada à IP, mesmo em uma relação de dose-efeito.

ABSTRACT

Background Workplace stress has been associated with obesity. Diminished body weight has also been anticipated in some contexts. Objective In a cohort of healthcare personnel, morning cortisol was compared to nutritional and metabolic variables, aiming to identify the correlates of such marker. Methods Population n=185, 33.8 ± 9.8 years, 88.1% females, body mass index (BMI) 25.6 ± 4.4 kg/m2, included nurses and other nosocomial professionals, the majority with high social-economic status (75.2%). Participants were stratified according to BMI, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and metabolic syndrome (MS). Fasting plasma cortisol and the Framingham Coronary Risk Score was calculated. Results Mean cortisol was acceptable (19.4 ± 7.9 µg/dL) although with elevation in 21.6%. No correlation with FBG or MS occurred, and nonobese persons (BMI <25) exhibited the highest values (P=0.049). Comparison of the lowest and highest cortisol quartiles confirmed reduced BMI and waist circumference in the former, with unchanged Framingham Coronary Risk Score. Conclusion Cortisol correlated with reduced BMI. Despite low BMI and waist circumference, Framingham Coronary Risk Score was not benefitted, suggesting that exposure to cardiovascular risk continues, besides psychological strain. Initiatives to enhance organizational and staff health are advisable in the hospital environment. .


Contexto O estresse no ambiente de trabalho tem sido associado com obesidade. Peso corporal diminuído também tem sido relatado em algumas circunstâncias. Objetivo Numa casuística de profissionais da saúde, o cortisol matutino foi comparado com variáveis nutricionais e metabólicas, objetivando identificar as correlações de tal marcador. Métodos A população com n=185; 33,8 ± 9,8 anos; 88,1% mulheres, índice de massa corporal (IMC) 25.6 ± 4.4 kg/m2, incluía enfermeiros e outros funcionários nosocomiais, em sua maioria (75,2%) com nível sócio-econômico elevado. Os participantes foram estatrificados de acordo com IMC, glicemia de jejum, e síndrome metabólica. O cortisol de jejum e o escore Framingham de risco cardiovascular foram registrados. Resultados O cortisol médio era aceitável (19.4 ± 7.9 µg/dL), todavia com valores elevados em 21,6%. A glicemia de jejum e a síndrome metabólica não exibiram correlação, sendo que no tocante ao IMC, os não obesos (IMC <25) apresentaram o cortisol mais alto (P=0,049). Comparando-se os quartis superior e inferior do cortisol, confirmou-se o vínculo com o IMC e perímetro abdominal mais baixos, com escore Framingham de risco cardiovascular inalterado. Conclusão O cortisol alterado concentrou-se nos casos de IMC mais reduzido. A despeito do baixo IMC e perímetro abdominal, esta população não se beneficiou de escore de risco cardiovascular menor, sugerindo que, mesmo na ausência de obesidade, este grupo estava exposto a elevado risco cardiovascular, ao lado do estresse. Iniciativas direcionadas para melhor saúde organizacional e da equipe de profissionais, são recomendáveis no ambiente hospitalar. .

ABSTRACT

Objective: Evidence points to a high prevalence of metabolic dysfunction in bipolar disorder (BD), but few studies have evaluated the relatives of subjects with BD. We conducted a cross-sectional study in an extended family of patients with BD type I. Methods: The available relatives of the same family were interviewed (DSM-IV-R) and assessed in fasting conditions for body mass index, constituent variables of the metabolic syndrome (MS), leptin levels, insulin resistance index, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for the leptin receptor and promoter and PPAR-γ2 genes. The frequency of MS was compared with that recorded in the local general population. Results: Ninety-three relatives of three adults with BD were evaluated (30 aged < 18 years, 63 aged > 18 years). The frequency of MS was similar to that of the general population. Significantly higher frequencies of abnormal glucose, total and low density cholesterol (LDL-c) levels (all p < 0.05), waist circumference (p = 0.057), and leptin and insulin resistance values (in adults only) were observed in the family. Adults with the QQ genotype of the leptin receptor displayed higher LDL-c levels than carriers of the R allele. Conclusions: The associations among BD consanguinity, familial hypercholesterolemia, and leptin receptor SNPs reported herein should be replicated and extended in other pedigrees. .

ABSTRACT

Background: Metabolic syndrome is becoming an important public health problem in affluent societies. Aim: To identify factors associated to metabolic syndrome in a Southern Chilean city. Material and methods: Using a case control design, 200 participants, aged 35 to 70 years with at least three criteria for metabolic syndrome according to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP_ATPIII) and 200 subjects with less than three criteria, were studied. Both groups were compared in terms of ethnic background, educational level, family history of diabetes and coronary artery disease, menopausal status, smoking, stress and depression, physical activity, changes in body mass index in the last five years and diet. Results: Among subjects aged more than 54 years, among males and among overweight individuals, having a Mapuche origin was a risk factor with odds ratios (OR) of 7.2; 88 and 3.9 respectively. Among subjects aged more than 54 years, among women and among overweight individuals, a family history of diabetes was a risk factor with OR of 17.7; 3.2 and 3.9 respectively. Among subjects aged more than 54 years and among women a change in body mass index of more than three points was a risk factor with OR of 12.5 and 7.4, respectively. Depression also was a risk factor among subjects aged more than 54 years (OR 3.3). Regular consumption of wine was a protective factor among participants of more than 54 years, with an OR of 0.17. Conclusions: The risk factors for metabolic syndrome detected in this group of participants, were having a Mapuche origin, a family history of diabetes mellitus and depression. Wine consumption was associated with a lower risk.

ABSTRACT

FUNDAMENTO: A síndrome metabólica representa um conjunto de fatores de risco, associados a doenças cardiovasculares e a diabete melito tipo 2. O tratamento inclui mudanças no estilo de vida, dieta, atividade física e medicamentos. A adesão do paciente é crucial ao tratamento da doença. Objetivo: Avaliar dois modelos de intervenção dietoterápica e a relação com a adesão ao tratamento e o impacto na melhora clínica de pacientes com síndrome metabólica. MÉTODOS: Ensaio clínico randomizado, com duração de quatro meses. Os pacientes foram randomizados em grupos intervenção e controle. Todos seguiram dieta específica por quatro meses. O grupo Intervenção recebeu pacote de intervenção, com dieta individualizada, manual de orientação, aconselhamento via telefone e material educativo. Foram realizadas anamnese nutricional, avaliação antropométrica, avaliação dietética, orientação dietética individualizada e exames bioquímicos. RESULTADOS: Os pacientes que chegaram mais motivados foram aqueles que tiverem maior redução nos valores do índice de massa corporal (p < 0,001), que reduziu de 31,7 kg/m² (DP ± 3,9) para 30,9 kg/m² (DP ± 3,8), na circunferência abdominal a redução foi de 108,1 cm (DP ± 9,8) para 105,9 cm (DP ± 9,5). As associações estatisticamente significativas se deram nas correlações entre índice de massa corporal, glicemia e triglicerídeos, redução do consumo de leite integral (p = 0,002), aumento no consumo de cereais integrais (p = 0,008) e de leite desnatado (p = 0,010), e entre o aumento no consumo de vegetais e a redução dos triglicerídeos. CONCLUSÃO: Ambos os grupos mostraram melhora significativa nos parâmetros clínicos, que foi significativamente associada a motivação prévia. Os pacientes que chegaram mais motivados foram aqueles que responderam melhor ao tratamento.


BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events disease and type 2 diabetes. Treatment includes modifications on life style, diet and physical activity. Treatment adherence plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of this disease. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate two models of dietary intervention, and the relationship with adherence to treatment and impact on clinical improvement of patients with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: Randomized clinical trial, lasting four months. Participants were randomized assigned to the intervention or control group. Both groups were instructed to follow a diet for 4 months. Subjects in the intervention group additionally received an intervention package, with metabolic syndrome manual book, telephone counseling and nutrition education leaflets. In both groups nutritional anamnesis, anthropometric assessment, dietary assessment, individualized dietary and biochemical tests were done. RESULTS: Patients who arrived more motivated were those who has the greatest reduction in the values of body mass index, which decreased from 31.7 kg/m² (SD ± 3.9) to 30.9 kg/m² (SD ± 3.8), reduction in waist circumference was 108.1 cm (SD ± 9.8) to 105.9 cm (SD ± 9.5). The statistically significant associations were in the correlation between body mass index, blood glucose and triglycerides, reducing the consumption of whole milk, increased consumption of whole grains and skimmed milk and between the increase in vegetable intake and reducing triglycerides. CONCLUSION: Both groups showed significant improvement in all clinical parameters that was significantly associated with the previous motivation. Patients who arrived more motivated were those who responded better to treatment.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Metabolic syndrome is a highly prevalent disorder among the general population. Studies show an even higher prevalence among psychiatric patients. The objective of this study is to assess the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among inpatients of a psychiatric ward of a general hospital in Brazil and correlate it with their respective psychiatric diagnoses and with the antipsychotics and mood stabilizers used. METHOD: 170 inpatients (mean age: 45.6 years) were evaluated according to the National Cholesterol Education Program criteria for metabolic syndrome, with a modification of the criteria for blood pressure and fasting glucose. RESULTS: The prevalence found was 29.4 percent, being higher in women (43.6 percent versus 20.8 percent, p = 0.002). The prevalence stratified by psychiatric diagnostic was 48.1 percent for depression, 38.3 percent for bipolar disorder, 31.8 percent for schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder, 5.1 percent for alcoholism, and 23.1 percent for "other mental disorders". The prevalence for alcoholism was significantly lower than the prevalence rates associated with other diagnostic categories (p = 0.035). After using the multivariate analysis, female gender and use of lithium remained as factors associated with a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence found was 29.4 percent. Gender (female) and use of lithium were factors significantly associated with the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.


OBJETIVO: A síndrome metabólica é um transtorno de alta prevalência na população em geral. Estudos demonstram prevalência ainda maior em pacientes psiquiátricos. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a prevalência de síndrome metabólica em pacientes internados em uma enfermaria psiquiátrica de um hospital geral no Brasil e correlacioná-la com os diagnósticos psiquiátricos e com o uso de medicamentos antipsicóticos e moduladores do humor. MÉTODO: Cento e setenta pacientes (idade média: 45,6 anos) foram avaliados de acordo com os critérios do National Cholesterol Education Program para síndrome metabólica, modificados nos critérios pressão arterial e glicemia de jejum. RESULTADOS: A prevalência encontrada foi de 29,4 por cento, sendo mais elevada em mulheres (43,6 por cento versus 20,8 por cento, p = 0,002). A prevalência estratificada por diagnóstico psiquiátrico foi de 48,1 por cento para depressão, 38,3 por cento para transtorno bipolar, 31,8 por cento para esquizofrenia e transtornos esquizoafetivos, 5,1 por cento para alcoolismo e 23,1 por cento para "outros transtornos mentais". A prevalência para alcoolismo foi significativamente menor, se comparada às prevalências associadas às demais categorias diagnósticas (p = 0,035). Após análise multivariada, o sexo feminino e o uso de lítio permaneceram como fatores associados ao diagnóstico de síndrome metabólica. CONCLUSÃO: A prevalência de síndrome metabólica encontrada foi de 29,4 por cento. O sexo feminino e o uso de lítio foram fatores significativamente associados ao diagnóstico de síndrome metabólica.

ABSTRACT

Os hábitos de vida são multifatorialmente determinados, coexistindo aspectos nutricionais, psicológicos, sociais e relativos à atividade física, o que requer a necessidade de uma intervenção complexa para modificá-Ios. A intervenção não-farmacológica na síndrome metabólica está baseada, fundamentalmente, em programas interdisciplinares que visem a mudança de estilo de vida, contribuindo assim para a redução da incidência de complicações decorrentes da síndrome. O objetivo desse artigo é caracterizar fatores emocionais associados à etiologia da síndrome metabólica e caracterizar a instrumentalização do paciente sobre re-educação alimentar, com enfoque na identificação dos fatores dificultadores da efetiva mudança de estilo de vida. Para tanto, a estratégia de intervenção utilizada é interdisciplinar. Os resultados parciais dessa intervenção também estão descritos nesse artigo. Nessa abordagem verificou-se perda ponderal, com redução do índice de massa corpórea e da circunferência abdominal; melhora da percepção de risco da doença como um todo, redução da resistência a mudanças e conscientização quanto à associação entre o excesso alimentar e a condição psíquica, favorecendo a adoção de novos hábitos de vida

ABSTRACT

A instalação da síndrome metabólica pode ser considerada como um importante fator preditivo para complicações orgânicas e sociais e, conseqüentemente, alterações psicológicas. Para prevenir essas conseqüências, torna-se imprescindível a participação do paciente no que se refere à adesão ao tratamento proposto pela equipe de saúde, que basicamente consiste em mudança do estilo de vida, além daingestão medicamentosa conforme prescrição médica.Para que isso ocorra há necessidade de intersecção entre aspectos objetivos e subjetivos, isto é, entre a transmissão sistematizada de informações ao paciente sobre a doença e o tratamento e intervenção sobre características de personalidade do paciente que podem interferir diretamente na mudança do estilo de vida.A psicoterapia grupal, inserida em uma abordagem multiprofissional, demonstrou ser eficiente no tratamento desses pacientes, favorecendo a reflexão de aspectos emocionais intervenientes na não-adesão ao tratamento proposto. O presente estudo tem como objetivo apresentar a experiência de nossa equipe, utilizando a psicoterapia de grupo como técnica de intervenção em pacientes portadores de síndrome metabólica.
