Abstract
AIMS: The primary objective of our study is to determine the prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in the population. The secondary objective is to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and their correlation with the metabolic syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The sample for the study was obtained by means of a consecutive population-based demonstration in 803 adults over 18 years of age belonging to the labor force of the company Grupo Delta SA. The study was carried out according to the guidelines of the Declaration of Helsinki. The individuals included in the study voluntarily participated, once informed of the purpose of the study, giving their prior verbal consent, to the company's human resources department, in the case of Delta Group workers. RESULTS: 23.8% of the population has metabolic syndrome. Each cardiovascular risk factor has different importance in the metabolic syndrome. CONCLUSION: The correlation of cardiovascular risk factors with the metabolic syndrome differs from one another.
