Resumo: Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in a population of overweight patients. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 290 patients, regularly receiving care at the internal medicine ambulatory of the Division of Occupational Medicine at Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, who had complaints of overweight. Inclusion criteria were age over 18 years, body mass index equal or higher than 25 kg/m2 and absence of diabetes mellitus. MS was defined according to criteria by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Results: Prevalence of MS in this group of individuals was 20.0%. When only patients with obesity were assessed, prevalence was 24.6%. Conclusions: Prevalence of MS was similar to that of the general population, even in the group of obese patients, a group that theoretically has higher risk of developing MS.

Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 290 pacientes atendidos no ambulatório de medicina interna do Serviço de Medicina Ocupacional do Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre, que consultaram por queixa de excesso de peso. Os critérios de inclusão foram idade acima de 18 anos, índice de massa corporal igual ou superior a 25 kg/m2 e ausência de diabetes melito. A SM foi definida segundo os critérios do National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Resultados: A prevalência geral da SM neste grupo de indivíduos foi de 20,0%. Quando avaliamos apenas os pacientes com obesidade, a prevalência foi de 24,6%. Conclusões: A prevalência da SM foi semelhante à da população em geral, mesmo no grupo de obesos – um grupo teoricamente com maior risco de desenvolvimento da síndrome.HCPA/FAMED/UFRGS2008-02-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionPeer-reviewed ArticleAvaliado por Paresapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/2434Clinical & Biomedical Research; Vol. 27 No. 3 (2007): Revista HCPAClinical and Biomedical Research; v. 27 n. 3 (2007): Revista HCPA2357-9730reponame:Clinical and Biomedical Researchinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/article/view/2434/1671Rodrigues, Ticiana da CostaWinter, Jacqueline JacquesTrindade, Damasio MacedoCanani, Luis Henrique Santosinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2020-01-16T16:14:10Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/2434Revistahttps://www.seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpaPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/hcpa/oai||cbr@hcpa.edu.br2357-97302357-9730opendoar:2020-01-16T16:14:10Clinical and Biomedical Research - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
