Abstract

Objective: to determine the clinical and metabolic characteristics in adults with Type 2 diabetes according to the presence of diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome (MS).
Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study with simple randomized probability sampling, including patients with Type 2 diabetes. There was measurement of body composition, blood pressure, and biochemical parameters. In order to determine the metabolic syndrome diagnosis, criteria by the International Diabetes Federation were applied. There was bivariate analysis among those who presented diagnostic criteria for SM and those who did not, using the Mann Whitney’s U test for hypothesis contrast.
Results: the mean age of the sample studied was 59.7% (SD: 11.5 years). Most participants were female (65.3%) and with a middle socioeconomic level (75.5%). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 40%, and hyperglycaemia was the most frequent alteration (93.3%). The majority of patients with MS showed statistically significant overweight and obesity (p< 0.05), as well as higher figures of body mass index, waist circumference, total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, atherogenic indexes and blood pressure.
Conclusions: patients with T2D showed a high prevalence of MS. In patients with MS, hyperglycaemia was the most frequent alteration, followed by central obesity measured by waist circumference; and according to their BMI, the majority presented overweight and obesity. The mean triglycerides, blood pressure and atherogenic indexes of these patients were higher vs. those who did not meet diagnostic criteria for MS.
