“…Quando comparado a estudos transversais que utilizaram adultos e idosos em sua amostra, o presente trabalho apresentou piores condições em relação a Bauru, onde a prevalência foi de 33,6% 25 e melhores condições em relação ao Paraná, onde predominância geral foi 53,7%…”

“…Resultados semelhantes foram encontrados por Noel et al, em estudo realizado com 1.167 idosos, em que o consumo do grupo dos doces havia sido associado inversamente ao desfecho; porém, quando retirados os portadores de DM tipo 2 da amostra, a variável consumo de doces apresentou significância para maior risco de SM (OR=1,8) 30 . Este estudo não identificou associação significativa entre renda e SM, assim como em outras pesquisas 13,25,28 . Sugere-se que a renda não seja uma variável que afete diretamente o desfecho, devido à alta prevalência de SM em idosos, encontrada em todas as classes sociais 13 .…”

Introdução: Síndrome metabólica (SM) é um transtorno complexo caracterizado por um conjunto de alterações fisiopatológicas simultâneas, como alteração no perfil glicêmico, lipídico, nos níveis pressóricos e obesidade central. Objetivo: Identificar a prevalência de síndrome metabólica em idosos e fatores sociodemográficos, socioeconômicos e comportamentais associados. Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com 293 idosos, residentes no município de Nova Roma do Sul (RS), Brasil. Dados foram coletados por meio de questionário, medidas antropométricas e exames bioquímicos. Determinou-se a síndrome metabólica segundo a National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Tratment Panel III. Aplicou-se estatística descritiva e teste do χ 2 , além da Regressão de Poisson. Resultados: A prevalência geral foi de 37,2%. Na análise ajustada, a baixa escolaridade (RP=1,40; IC95% 1,07-1,82), o excesso de peso (RP=4,36; IC95% 2,47-7,68) e o consumo frequente de doces (RP=0,74; IC95% 0,57-0,97) estiveram associados ao desfecho. Conclusão: A prevalência de SM apresentou-se elevada, principalmente entre idosos com excesso de peso e com baixa escolaridade. Resultado preocupante, principalmente diante dos agravos que esse distúrbio metabólico pode causar à saúde. Evidencia-se a necessidade de ações, ainda em fase adulta, visando à elaboração de estratégias que atentem integralmente à saúde do idoso.Palavras-chave: síndrome x metabólica; saúde do idoso; prevalência; estudos transversais. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex disorder characterized by a set of simultaneous pathophysiological changes, including glycemic levels, lipid profile, pressure levels, and central obesity. Objective: To identify the prevalence of MS in an elderly population and to point out sociodemographic, socioeconomic and behavioral factors associated. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out with 293 elderly people living in the city of Nova Roma do Sul (RS), Brazil. Data were collected by questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, and biochemical tests. MS was determined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III. Descriptive statistics, χ 2 , and Poisson regression tests were applied. Results: The prevalence of MS was 37.2%. In the adjusted analysis, low educational level (PR=1.40; 95%CI 1.07-1.82), overweight (PR=4.36; 95%CI 2.47-7.68), and frequent sugar intake (PR=0.74; 95%CI 0.57-0.97) were shown to be associated with MS. Conclusion: The prevalence of MS was high, especially among overweight and low-educated elderly. This is a worrying result, especially because MS diagnosis could be associated with higher risk for health. This is evidence of the need of actions to be taken in adulthood still, and elaboration of strategies that improve the health of the elderly.

“…These factors make obesity a major public health problem. In addition, it is also a determining factor for the establishment of what we call today the metabolic syndrome, characterized as a complex disorder represented by a set of metabolic disorders that are commonly associated with obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia [1] .…”

Currently in the world, thousands of people are somewhat overweight. Obesity, mainly characterized by the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue can cause various damages in the body, incluind Metabolic Syndrome. There is a high correlation between patients with this syndrome and those with Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), being defined as the increase of the deposition of lipids in the liver in the absence of excessive consumption of alcohol. Excess intake of saturated fatty acids, increased free fatty acids derived from white adipose tissue lipolysis, reduced β-oxidation along with an increase in de novo lipogenesis and decreased synthesis or secretion of VLDL in hepatocytes contribute to the Hepatic steatosis. The treatment for these pathologies is initially based on diet changes and physical activity practice. In addition, there are still some classes of medicines available to treat the accumulation of fat in the liver as well as decrease insulin resistance. Studies still seek to find specific medicines for the treatment of NAFLD, therefore, the most effective method continues to be prevention, through an improvement in the quality of life, related to a balanced diet and the practice of regular physical activity.

[ahead of print]Freely available online -OPEN ACCESS La Revista Española de Nutrición Humana y Dietética se esfuerza por mantener a un sistema de publicación continua, de modo que los artículos se publican antes de su formato final (antes de que el número al que pertenecen se haya cerrado y/o publicado). De este modo, intentamos poner los artículos a disposición de los lectores/usuarios lo antes posible.The Spanish Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics strives to maintain a continuous publication system, so that the articles are published before its final format (before the number to which they belong is closed and/or published). In this way, we try to put the articles available to readers/users as soon as possible. Revista Española de Nutrición RESUMENEl síndrome metabólico ha sido identificado como un problema global debido a que afecta a una gran cantidad de personas. Numerosos factores están involucrados en su aparición y desarrollo.Se ha descrito que el síndrome metabólico tendría consecuencias negativas en la salud.Consecuentemente, numerosos tratamientos han sido propuestos para paliar el síndrome metabólico como fármacos, cirugías o cambios en el estilo de vida donde los hábitos nutricionales serían un importante elemento en el control del síndrome metabólico. El presente estudio revisa la literatura existente sobre la epidemiología del síndrome metabólico, los componentes involucrados en su aparición y progresión, las consecuencias clínicas del mismo y las estrategias nutricionales utilizadas en su remisión. Se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica en Pubmed y Medline con objeto de identificar estudios elegibles. Se obtuvo que el síndrome metabólico está presente en población tanto de países desarrollados como de países en vías de desarrollo. Factores medio ambientales y genéticos están involucrados en su desarrollo. Su padecimiento incrementa de forma exponencial el riesgo de padecer enfermedad cardiovascular, cáncer, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, anomalías del sueño, etc. Las estrategias nutricionales jugarían un papel esencial en la prevención y recuperación del síndrome metabólico.
