Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

OBJECTIVE to identify the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome and its components in a population of patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. METHOD a cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 diabetic patients. A descriptive analysis and Chi-square and Fisher's exact tests ( p <0.05) were performed. RESULTS the majority of participants were females and overweight, with a mean age of 63.1 years and a low level of education, and categorized as physically inactive. Of all individuals investigated, 50.7% were diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome and 92% had at least one of the syndrome components with values beyond those recommended. CONCLUSION it is essential to take preventive actions and develop studies that help to identify the factors associated with this syndrome.
