ABSTRACT

Introduction:

The metabolic syndrome is defined by the presence of obesity, fundamentally central, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia;

Objective:

To characterize patients with metabolic syndrome from the clinical and epidemiological points of view.

Methods:

A descriptive and prospective study of 640 patients with metabolic syndrome was carried out, who were admitted to Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso Teaching General Hospital from Santiago de Cuba during 2019. Information was statistically processed and analyzed; through the SPSS 11.5.1 program, by using the percentage as summary measure for qualitative variables.

Results:

In the serie, 26.8% of the patients belonged to the age group 40-49, and 53,0% were of female sex. Likewise, diabetes mellitus and hypertension were the associated diseases in 22,3 y 22,2 % of the patients, respectively, while 67,7 % had a saturated fats diet. Social drinkers were identified in 53,0 % of cases, and the heavy smokers in 47.0 %.

Conclusions:

Health promotion and education should be considered in patients with metabolic syndrome from the primary care, as well as the distribution of medical care for this group of hospital institutions, to prevent and control risk factors related to its emergence.
RESUMEN

El síndrome metabólico está definido por la presencia de obesidad, fundamentalmente central; hipertensión arterial; diabetes mellitus y dislipidemias.

Objetivo:

Caracterizar a pacientes con síndrome metabólico desde el punto de vista clínico-epidemiológico.

Métodos:

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y prospectivo de 640 pacientes con síndrome metabólico atendidos en el Hospital General Docente Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso de Santiago de Cuba durante el año 2019. La información se procesó y analizó estadísticamente mediante el programa SPSS 11.5.1, con el empleo del porcentaje como medida de resumen para variables cualitativas.

Resultados:

En la serie, 26,8 % perteneció al grupo de edades de 40-49 años y 53,0 % era del sexo femenino. Asimismo, la diabetes mellitus y la hipertensión arterial figuraron como enfermedades asociadas en 22,3 y 22,2 % de los pacientes, respectivamente, en tanto 67,7 % ingería dieta a base de grasa saturada.
