The San José de Cúcuta Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study: Design and Scope.
The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of interrelated risk factors -including obesity, atherogenic dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance, which exponentially increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this cross-sectional stu...

The purpose of this cross-sectional study is to determine the prevalence of MetS according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the last harmonizing MetS criteria in adult individuals of both sexes from San José de Cúcuta, Colombia, a mediumsize city belonging to the North of Santander Department, with a population of 587.676 inhabitants according to the 2005 census information conducted by the National Statistic Administrative Department (DANE) with a projection by 2017 of 662.765 persons. Likewise, DANE projects that 68.5% (454.077 hab) of Cucutan population will be over 18 years by 2017, so that, using these data, the sample size for San José de Cúcuta is 2200 adult persons for a 95% confidence interval and a maximum accepted sampling error of 5%. Data derived from both, medical and laboratory examination (smoking habit, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, alcohol consumption, nutritional habits, physical activity by IPAQ, blood pressure, anthropometry, and blood chemistry and endocrinology panel) will be conducted by trained health professionals and medical students. There is a clear lack of evidence regarding the prevalence of cardio-metabolic risk factors and local cut-off points for biological quantitative variables i.e. abdominal circumference, body mass index, fasting insulin, Homeostasis Model Assessment, among others. In the near future, this study will contribute for new evidence, providing firsthand accurate evidence about MetS behavior in our country. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Revista Latinoamericana de Hipertensión is the property of Revista Latinoamericana de Hipertension and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
