Abstract

Introduction: metabolic syndrome is characterized by central obesity, metabolic abnormalities, dyslipidemia, hypertension and it includes different cardiovascular alterations; as well as the presence of diabetes mellitus.

Objective: to characterize the risk factors of the metabolic syndrome in adolescents from San Juan and Martinez municipality during the year 2018.

Methods: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out. The target group consisted of 522 patients, 141 of them were chosen through a simple random sampling. Individual and family health histories were reviewed. The data obtained were processed by SPSS.

Results: there was a predominance of female sex (58.87 %) and white race (80.14 %).  A history of hypertension in first line relatives was found in 63.1% and 61% showed average eating habits; 54.6% of the sample was found to be normal weight, 75.2% reported drinking alcoholic beverages and 88% were smokers.

Conclusions: the presence of risk factors associated with the metabolic syndrome is increasing in adolescents, which brings about great probabilities for its development at this stage of life. Early diagnoses allow working on them and avoid future diseases and associated complications.
