Consumo de fructosa y síndrome metabólico en pacientes adultos de un Hospital Militar / Fructose consumption and metabolic syndrome in adult patients of a military hospital

Introducción: La fructosa de la dieta se metaboliza a nivel hepático, en donde estimula la fructólisis, la glucólisis, la lipogénesis y la producción de glucosa, esto conlleva a la dislipidemia mixta, hiperglucemia e hígado graso; aumentando el riesgo de síndrome metabólico.Objetivo: Determinar la asociación entre el consumo de fructosa y síndrome metabólico en pacientes adultos atendidos en el Hospital Militar Central “Coronel Luis Arias Schreiber”.Materiales y Métodos: Investigación de enfoque cuantitativo, diseño no experimental, transversal, correlacional-causal. La población de estudio estuvo conformada por 75 pacientes adultos. Se incluyó pacientes mayores de 18 años de edad; quienes en forma voluntaria firmaron el consentimiento informado y presentaron registros actualizados de perfil bioquímico, fueron excluidos pacientes con discapacidad mental, motora y/o física. Los valores de presión arterial y perfil bioquímico; se obtuvo de las historias clínicas y la valoración antropométrica a través de la medición del peso corporal, talla y circunferencia abdominal; la ingesta de fructosa se obtuvo a través de un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo semicuantitativo. Se utilizó la prueba estadística de Chi cuadrado para evaluar la asociación de variables.Resultados: El 61,3% presentó Síndrome Metabólico (SM), el 88% presentan un inadecuado consumo de fructosa (>25g/día). El índice de masa corporal (IMC) promedio fue de 30,34 (DE ±4,0); el nivel de glucosa en ayunas fue 100,13 mg/dL (DE ±11,25). Al asociar el consumo inadecuado de fructosa con el Síndrome Metabólico, se obtuvo un valor p= 0,010 (p<0,05). Asimismo, el consumo inadecuado de fructosa añadida tuvo asociación con el SM (p<0,05). No obstante, al asociar ingesta de fructosa natural con el SM, se obtuvo p =0.466 (p>0,05).(AU)

Introduction: Dietary fructose is metabolized in the liver,where it stimulates fructolysis, glycolysis, lipogenesis andglucose production, which leads to mixed dyslipidemia, hy-perglycemia and fatty liver; increasing the risk of metabolicsyndrome. Objetive: Determine the association between fructose con-sumption and metabolic syndrome in adult patients treated atthe “Coronel Luis Arias Schreiber” Central Military Hospital. Materials and methods: A quantitative approach studywas carried out, with a non-experimental, cross-sectional andcorrelational-causal design. The study population consisted of 75 adult patients. Patients over 18 years of age were in-cluded; who voluntarily signed the informed consent and pre-sented updated biochemical profile records. Patients withmental, motor and/or physical disabilities were excluded.Blood pressure and biochemical profile values were obtainedfrom medical records and anthropometric assessmentthrough measurement of body weight, height, and abdominalcircumference. Fructose intake was obtained through a semi-quantitative consumption frequency questionnaire. The Chisquare statistical test was used to evaluate the association ofvariables. Results: 61.3% presented Metabolic Syndrome (MS), 88%presented inadequate fructose consumption (>25g/day). Theaverage body mass index (BMI) was 30.34 (SD ±4.0); Thefasting glucose level was 100.13 mg/dL (SD ±11.25). Whenassociating inadequate fructose consumption with MetabolicSyndrome, a p value = 0.010 (p < 0.05) was obtained.Likewise, inadequate consumption of added fructose was as-sociated with MS (p<0.05). However, when associating natu-ral fructose intake with MS, p =0.466 (p>0.05) was obtained.Conclusions. A high consumption of added fructose in in-dustrialized foods has a greater association with the develop-ment of Metabolic Syndrome; It is necessary to reduce thefructose content in industrialized foods.(AU)

Síndrome metabólica em idosos de um aglomerado urbano subnormal: prevalência e fatores associados / Metabolic syndrome in older adults living in a subnormal urban cluster: Prevalence and associated factors

Resumo Introdução A síndrome metabólica (SM) é o agrupamento de fatores de risco associados à adiposidade central e à resistência à insulina. Objetivo O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a prevalência da SM e os fatores associados em idosos de uma comunidade do município de Recife, Pernambuco. Método Estudo transversal com 166 idosos de ambos os sexos com idade igual ou superior a 60 anos, residentes na Comunidade dos Coelhos, no município de Recife. Para o diagnóstico da SM, foi utilizado o critério do NCEP-ATPIII. A análise dos dados foi efetuada com a utilização do programa estatístico SPSS para Windows, versão 13.1. Na comparação entre proporções, foram utilizados o teste de qui-quadrado de Pearson e o teste exato de Fischer. A razão de prevalência foi utilizada como medida de efeito considerando a SM como variável dependente. Resultados A prevalência de SM encontrada foi de 38,3%. Os fatores associados à SM após ajustes foram: a idade, na faixa etária 60-69 anos (44,4%, p = 0,047), o sexo feminino (43,1%, p = 0,056) e o excesso de peso (57,3%, p < 0,001). Conclusão A SM apresentou uma alta prevalência na população idosa avaliada, sendo associada às características demográficas e ao estado nutricional.

Abstract Background Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clustering of risk factors associated with central adiposity and insulin resistance. Objective This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of MS and associated factors in older adults living in a subnormal urban cluster located in the city of Recife, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Method A cross-sectional study was carried out with 166 older adults of both sexes aged ≥60 years residing in the Coelhos Community in Recife. MS was diagnosed through the NCEP/ATP III criteria. Data analysis was performed using the SPSS 13.1 statistical software. The Pearson's chi-squared test and the Fisher's exact test were used to compare the proportions. Prevalence ratio was used as an effect measure considering MS as dependent variable. Results Prevalence of MS was 38.3%. The factors associated with MS after adjustments were being 60-69 years old (44.4%, p=0.047), female (43.1%, p=0.056), and overweight (57.3%, p<0.001). Conclusion High prevalence of MS was observed in the older population evaluated, being associated with demographic characteristics and nutritional status. The group of older adults assessed should be provided with nutritional education and motivation to the practice of physical activities.

Bases conceptuales de la cirugía metabólica / Conceptual Bases of Metabolic Surgery

Resumen: El término de síndrome metabólico (SM) se ha utilizado desde su definición en el año 2001 por el programa nacional del colesterol (NCEP: ATP III). El concepto ha sido discutido en la literatura científica por décadas. El síndrome X y otros términos como "el cuarteto de la muerte" y el síndrome de resistencia a la insulina, han sido utilizados para describir la asociación entre factores de riesgo metabólico y cardiovascular. En México, la prevalencia de SM en la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición (ENSANUT) fue de un 34% para el año 2000; y para el 2012, del 41%. Las modificaciones del estilo de vida junto con aumento en la actividad física, dejar de fumar y limitar el consumo de alcohol son primordiales para el manejo y la prevención debido a que juegan un rol central en las anormalidades metabólicas. Sin embargo, a pesar del impresionante armamento de medicamentos disponible para la diabetes, se ha descrito que hasta el 50% de los pacientes no alcanzan las metas adecuadas de control, definidas por la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (hemoglobina glucosilada <7%). En contraste, la cirugía bariátrica (CB) ha confirmado claramente que contribuye a mejorar la función de las células beta en pacientes con índice de masa corporal (IMC) >35 kg/m2, así como el control de la dislipidemia y otras alteraciones metabólicas.

Abstract: The term Metabolic Syndrome (MS) has been used since its introduction in 2001 by the National Cholesterol Program (NCEP: ATP III). The concept has been discussed in the scientific literature for decades. The X Syndrome and other terms such as "death quartet" and insulin resistance syndrome have been used to describe the association between metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors. In Mexico, the prevalence of MS in the National Health and Nutrition Survey (Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición, ENSANUT) was 34% in 2000 and 41% in 2012. Lifestyle modifications along with increased physical activity, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption are essential for management and prevention because they play a central role in metabolic abnormalities. However, despite the large amount of medications available for diabetes, up to 50% of patients have been reported to fail to achieve adequate control goals, as defined by the American Diabetes Association (glycosylated hemoglobin <7%). In contrast, bariatric surgery (BS) has clearly confirmed that it contributes to improved beta cell function in patients with BMI >35 kg / m2, as well as control of dyslipidemia and other metabolic disorders.

This syndrome is one of the main atherogenic risk factors; consequently, its early diagnosis at the primary health care level is essential. Objective: To deterine the manifestations of the Metabolic Syndrome in people over 60 years of age in three elderly homes in Boyeros Municipality. Material and Methods: A descriptive observational cross-sectional study was carried out. The study universe consisted of 130 people, 103 of whom were interviewed during the period between January 2016 and February 2017.The criteria of the Adult Treatment Panel III were followed for the diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome. Descriptive variables were expressed in percentages and the chi-square statistic was used to compare the study variables. Results: The results obtained showed that 33.01 percent of patients were suffering from Metabolic Syndrome, predominating the people aged 60 to 64 years (44.12 percent) and the female sex (64.71 percent). Furthermore, 97.06 percent presented blood pressures ≥130/85 mmHg and 100 percent of patients had no knowledge of their disease. Conclusions: Metabolic Syndrome predominated in female patients and in those aged 60 to 64 years. The early diagnosis at the primary health care level is poor. This syndrome is associated with abdominal obesity and the risk of cardiovascular disease(AU)

Dietary habits, anthropometric and metabolic profile of adolescents born prematurely / Perfil alimentar, metabólico e antropométrico de adolescentes nascidos prematuros

INTRODUCTION: Prematurity may be related to the early onset of obesity and metabolic syndrome in adolescence. Breastfeeding and feeding are crucial factors in the genesis of cardio metabolic riskOBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between the type of breastfeeding and eating habits with the blood pressure, lipid, glycemic and anthropometric profile of adolescents born prematurelyMETHODS: Cross-sectional study with 50 adolescents born prematurely in western Paraná, Brazil, aged 10 to 19 years. Data on birth, breastfeeding and feeding using the 24-hour Food Consumption Marker were evaluated. Weight, height, abdominal circumference (AC), blood pressure (BP) were verified; concentrations of glucose, total cholesterol (TC) and triglycerides (TG) were measured by capillary puncture. Data analysis using descriptive statistics and analysis of varianceRESULTS: Out of total, 78% eat in front of screens and 52% do not take the main meals during the day. Regardless of the amount of meals a day, the lipid, glycemic and AC profiles did not show a statistically significant difference between the groups. There is a statistically significant association between BP and number of meals (p = 0.01), TC and breastfeeding (p = 0.03) and TG with consumption of sausages (p = 0.02) and products rich in carbohydrates (p = 0.01). Most of them (72%) consumed cow's milk before completing one year and only 30% received exclusive breastfeeding until six months of age. Related other values, 30% had high BP, 22% and 41% high TC and TG, respectively. Of the 30% overweight, 60% had high BP, 53% high TG, 33% high TC and 33% percentile AC ≥90CONCLUSION: Breastfeeding did not influence the metabolic profile, but it was evidenced as risk factors for adolescents to develop future cardiovascular problems due to prematurity, inadequate eating habits, overweight, alterations in abdominal circumference, blood pressure and lipid profile

INTRODUÇÃO: A prematuridade pode estar relacionada à instalação precoce de obesidade e síndrome metabólica na adolescência. O aleitamento e a alimentação são fatores cruciais na gênese do risco cardiometabólicoOBJETIVO: Analisar a relação do tipo de aleitamento e hábitos alimentares com o perfil pressórico, lipídico, glicêmico e antropométrico de adolescentes nascidos prematurosMÉTODO: Estudo transversal com 50 adolescentes nascidos prematuros no oeste do Paraná, com idades entre 10 e 19 anos. Avaliaram-se dados do nascimento, aleitamento e alimentação (Marcador de Consumo Alimentar de 24 horas). Verificou-se peso, altura, circunferência abdominal (CA), pressão arterial (PA); dosadas concentrações de glicose, colesterol total (CT) e triglicerídeos (TG) por punção capilar. Análise de dados por estatística descritiva e análise de variânciaRESULTADOS: 78% realizavam alimentação em frente a telas e 52% não realizavam todas as principais refeições do dia; independentemente da quantidade de refeições diárias, os perfis lipídico, glicêmico e CA não apresentaram diferença estatística significante entre os grupos. Observou-se associação estatisticamente significante entre PA e número de refeições (p=0,01), CT e aleitamento materno (p=0,03) e TG com consumo de embutidos (p=0,02) e produtos ricos em carboidratos (p=0,01). Para 72% foi ofertado leite de vaca antes de completar um ano e somente 30% receberam aleitamento materno exclusivo até os seis meses de idade. Na amostra, 30% apresentaram PA elevada, 22% e 41% CT e TG elevados, respectivamente. Dos 30% com excesso de peso, 60% apresentaram PA elevada, 53% TG, 33% CT elevado e 33% percentil CA ≥90CONCLUSÃO: O aleitamento não influenciou no perfil metabólico, porém se evidenciou como fatores de risco para os adolescentes desenvolverem problemas cardiovasculares futuros à prematuridade, hábitos alimentares inadequados, excesso de peso, CA e perfil pressórico e lipídico alterados

Fragile X syndrome: clinical presentation, pathology and treatment.

Fragile X syndrome is the monogenetic condition that produces more cases of autism and intellectual disability. The repetition of CGG triplets (> 200) and their methylation entail the silencing of the FMR1 gene. The FMRP protein (product of the FMR1 gene) interacts with ribosomes by controlling the translation of specific messengers, and its loss causes alterations in synaptic connectivity. Screening for fragile X syndrome is performed by polymerase chain reaction. Current recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics is to test individuals with intellectual disability, global developmental retardation or with a family history of presence of the mutation or premutation. Hispanic countries such as Colombia, Chile and Spain report high prevalence of fragile X syndrome and have created fragile X national associations or corporations that seek to bring patients closer to available diagnostic and treatment networks.

El síndrome X frágil es la condición monogenética que produce más casos de autismo y de discapacidad intelectual. La repetición de tripletes CGG (> 200) y su metilación conllevan el silenciamiento del gen FMR1. La proteína FMRP (producto del gen FMR1) interacciona con los ribosomas, controlando la traducción de mensajeros específicos y su pérdida produce alteraciones de la conectividad sináptica. El tamizaje de síndrome X frágil se realiza por reacción en cadena de la polimerasa. La recomendación actual de la Academia Americana de Pediatría es realizar pruebas a quienes presenten discapacidad intelectual, retraso global del desarrollo o antecedentes familiares de afección por la mutación o premutación. Países hispanos como Colombia, Chile y España reportan altas prevalencias de síndrome X frágil y han creado asociaciones o corporaciones nacionales de X frágil que buscan acercar a los pacientes a redes disponibles de diagnóstico y tratamiento.

Métodos: Na amostra representativa de 850 adultos quilombolas, os componentes da síndrome metabólica foram definidos conforme o critério Joint Interim Statement. A razão entre a prevalência observada e a esperada determinaram as simultaneidades aumentadas. A regressão de Poisson com variância robusta testou as associações da maior simultaneidade e as variáveis sociodemográficas. Resultados: Metade das combinações da síndrome metabólica apresentaram prevalência observada maior que prevalência esperada. A hipertrigliceridemia foi o componente mais presente nas simultaneidades aumentadas. Após análise múltipla situação laboral e escolaridade permaneceram associadas (p<0,05) à maior simultaneidade. Conclusão: Ocorreu alta presença de simultaneidades aumentas em adultos quilombolas, tendo a hipertrigliceridemia como elemento mais recorrente. Além disso, a maior simultaneidade se associou trabalho remunerado e <5 anos de escolarização.(AU)

Objective: To analyze the simultaneity patterns of the metabolic syndrome and the associated sociodemographic factors in Bahian quilombolas. Methods: In the representative sample of 850 quilombola adults, the components of the metabolic syndrome were defined according to the Joint Interim Statement criterion. The ratio between observed and expected prevalence determined the increased simultaneities. Poisson regression with robust variance tested the associations of greatest simultaneity and sociodemographic variables. Results: Half of the metabolic syndrome combinations had higher prevalence than expected prevalence. Hypertriglyceridemia was the most common component in the increased simultaneities. After multiple analysis, employment status and education remained associated (p <0.05) with greater simultaneity. Conclusion: There was a high presence of increased simultaneities in quilombola adults, with hypertriglyceridemia as the most recurrent element. In addition, the highest simultaneity was associated with paid work and <5 years of schooling.(AU)

Síndrome metabólica e fatores associados em quilombolas baianos, Brasil / Metabolic syndrome and associated factors in quilombolas (inhabitants of black communities) from Bahia, Brazil

Resumo Este estudo buscou analisar a prevalência de Síndrome Metabólica (SM) e os fatores associados em adultos quilombolas. Estudo de base populacional com amostra de 850 adultos de ambos os sexos. A SM foi determinada pelo critério Joint Interim Statement. A regressão de Poisson foi usada para testar as associações, conforme modelo hierarquizado de análise. A prevalência de SM foi de 25,8% (Intervalo de Confiança de 95%: 22,8:28,7). Na análise múltipla permaneceram associados (p < 0,05) sexo, grupo etário, qualidade do sono, Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) e percentual de gordura (%G). Neste sentido, a presença da SM em adultos quilombolas se associa com o sexo feminino, faixa etária > 40 anos, má qualidade do sono, excesso de peso corporal e obesidade.

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of this condition and associated factors in adult quilombolas (inhabitants of black communities). In a population-based study with a sample of 850 adults of both sexes, MS was determined using the Joint Interim Statement criteria. Hierarchical Poisson regression modeling was used to test the associations. The prevalence of MS was 25.8% (95%CI: 22.8:28.7). In multiple analysis, gender, age group, sleep quality, body mass index and fat percentage remained significantly associated (p < 0.05). In this respect, the presence of SM in adult quilombolas is associated with female gender, age ≥ 40 years, poor sleep quality, overweight, and obesity.

Indicadores de obesidade: capacidade preditiva para síndrome metabólica em adultos quilombolas / Predictive capacity of obesity indicators for metabolic syndrome in adult quilombolas (inhabitants of black communities)

Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a capacidade preditiva da síndrome metabólica (SM) por diferentes indicadores de obesidade (IO) em adultos quilombolas. Estudo transversal com amostra representativa de 850 adultos (18 à 92 anos de idade) quilombolas residentes na microrregião geográfica de Guanambi/Bahia. Foram construídas curvas Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) entre os IO (percentual de gordura - %G; índice de adiposidade corporal - IAC; índice de massa corporal - IMC) e a SM. O equilíbrio entre sensibilidade e especificidade definiu os melhores pontos de corte preditores da SM pelos IO. Os três IO apresentaram capacidade preditiva para SM (curva ROC significativamente > 0,5). Entre as mulheres, o %G apresentou área sob a curva ROC (0,69 - IC95%: 0,65:0,73) significativamente maior que os demais IO. Entre os homens as áreas do %G e do IMC foram iguais (0,81 - IC95%: 0,76:0,85) e maiores que a do IAC. Os melhores pontos de corte dos IO para identificar a presença da SM respectivamente em mulheres e homens foram: 24,97 e 25,36 kg/m2 para IMC, 34,30 e 26,14% para IAC e 37,7 e 23,8% para %G. Os IO testados são válidos para rastrear a SM em adultos quilombolas a partir da utilização dos pontos de corte específicos para a população estudada.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the predictive capacity of different obesity indicators (OIs) for metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adult quilombolas (inhabitants of black communities). A cross-sectional study involving a representative sample of 850 adult quilombolas (18 to 92 years) living in the geographic micro-region of Guanambi, Bahia, Brazil, was conducted. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed between OI [body fat percentage (BF%), body adiposity index (BAI), and body mass index (BMI)] and MetS. The balance between sensitivity and specificity defined the best predictive cutoff points of OI for MetS. The three OIs were predictors of MetS (significant area under ROC curve > 0.5). Among women, BF% showed a significantly greater area under the ROC curve (0.69, 95% CI: 0.65; 0.73) than the other OIs. Among men, the areas for BF%% and BMI were the same (0.81, 95% CI: 0.76; 0.85) and were greater than that of BAI. The best OI cutoff points to identify the presence of MetS in women and men were, respectively: 24.97 and 25.36 kg/m2 for BMI, 34.30 and 26.14% for BAI, and 37.7 and 23.8% for BF%. The OIs tested are valid tools to screen for MetS in adult quilombolas when specific cutoff points for the population studied are used.

Obesidade, cirurgia bariátrica e o impacto na saúde bucal: revisão de literatura / Obesity, bariatric surgery and the impact on oral health: a literature review

Introdução: o consumo irregular de alimentos calóricos e pouco nutritivos elevou a prevalência da obesidade e a procura pela cirurgia bariátrica. Entretanto, tais condições podem causar consequências negativas na cavidade bucal. Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo foi revisar a literatura acerca da relação entre obesidade, cirurgia bariátrica e alterações bucais. Métodos: foi realizada consulta ao PubMED e ao BVS utilizando os termos "cirurgia bariátrica", "periodontite", "síndrome x metabólica", "obesidade", "força de mordida", "cardiopatias", "qualidade de vida", "desgaste dos dentes" e "eliminação salivar" entre 2000-2017. Documentos do Ministério da Saúde brasileiro e da Organização Mundial da Saúde com dados epidemiológicos foram incluídos. Resultados: observou-se que cárie dentária é frequente e o estado crônico de inflamação do obeso contribui para o desenvolvimento da doença periodontal. Além disso, o obeso possui maior risco de desordens cardiovasculares, que pode ser potencializada por bactérias da doença periodontal. Contudo, a cirurgia bariátrica, ao contrário do esperado, pode agravar ainda mais a doença periodontal e, devido a frequentes episódios de vômito, também pode levar ao desgaste dentário. Conclusão: a literatura evidencia a importância do cirurgião-dentista no controle de riscos, na prevenção e no tratamento dos pacientes obesos e bariátricos.

Introduction: irregular intake of caloric and low-nutrient foods has raised the prevalence of obesity and the demand for bariatric surgery. However, such conditions may have negative consequences on the oral cavity. Objective: the aim of this study was to review the literature on the relationship between obesity, bariatric surgery and oral disorders. Methods: PubMED and BVS were consulted using the terms "bariatric surgery", "periodontitis", "metabolic syndrome", "obesity", "bite force", "heart disease", "quality of life", "tooth wear" and "salivary elimination"between 2000-2017. Documents from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization with epidemiological data were included. Results: it was observed that dental caries is frequent, and the chronic inflammatory state of the obese patient contributes to the development of periodontal disease. In addition, the obese is at increased risk for cardiovascular disorders, which may be worsened by bacteria from periodontal disease. Yet, bariatric surgery, contrary to expectations, may further aggravate periodontal disease and, due to frequent vomiting episodes, can also lead to tooth wear. Conclusion: it can be concluded that literature highlights the importance of the dentist in the control of risks, in the prevention and treatment of obese and bariatric patients.

Lifestyle and quality of life in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes / Estilo de vida y calidad de vida en pacientes con sindrome metabólico y diabetes tipo 2

The objective of the study was to determine the lifestyle and quality of life in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome patients in the city of Popayán. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 81 patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus diagnoses. EUROQOL questionnaires of 5 Dimensions-3 Levels were applied, as well as the IMEVID test, in order to evaluate the quality of life and lifestyle of each group of patients. Anthropometric measures were also taken, suchas Body Mass Index, Waist-Hip Ratio and skinfolds. Regarding the results, 33.33% of the participants were between 61 and 70 years of age 56.8% presented moderate pain problems/discomfort, 61.7% presented an unhealthy lifestyle and obtained variable relationships such as: waist-hip ratio -glycemia (p = 0.021, r = -0.257), body density -triglycerides (p = 0.018, r = 0.263), age and mobility EUROQOL (p = 0.001, r = 0.350). In conclusion, lifestyle changes are one of the pillars to control metabolic syndromeand type 2 diabetes mellitus. Evaluating the quality of life also makes it possible to understand how compromised patients' abilities are, in order to create relevant strategies and actions that seek their well-being.

Prevalence of metabolic syndrome among university students: A systematic review / Prevalencia de síndrome metabólico en estudiantes universitarios, una revisión sistemática

Abstract Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is defined as a set of conditions including high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance and visceral obesity. In recent years, an increase of obesity in university students has been observed, although the accurate prevalence of MS is unknown. Objective: To determine the prevalence of MS in university students between January 2000 and January 2016. Materials and methods: A systematic review of studies published in the PubMed, LILACS, ScienceDirect, UpToDate, Imbiomed, SciELO and Google Scholar databases was performed. To ensure the highest number of papers, different combinations of words related to MS were used in Spanish, English, and Portuguese. Results: A total of16 studies met the inclusion criteria. Students from different health, social and human sciences careers from America, Asia and Europe participated in said studies. The prevalence of MS ranged from 0 to 19.2% according to NCEP-ATP III. Conclusions: The prevalence of MS varies widely across studies. It is important to expand MS research, as this would allow designing specific interventions for high-risk groups in the university context.

Estudio de validación de cuatro diferentes criterios para el diagnóstico de síndrome metabólico en población infantil / Validation study of four different criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in children

Resumen Introducción: El síndrome metabólico (SM) es un problema de salud pública, el cual no cuenta con estrategias adecuadas de prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento para población infantil. Los criterios existentes son controversiales y no son aplicables en los niños. Asimismo, varían según autores y comités de expertos; lo que podría tener importantes consecuencias en el diagnóstico de SM, impactando el tratamiento oportuno y el pronóstico del individuo. Objetivo: Validar criterios (NCEP-ATPIII; Cook, Ford y Duncan, et al; Ferranti, et al; Cruz, et al; e IDF1) para el diagnóstico de SM en niños mexicanos. Metodología: Estudio transversal de 2599 niños entre 6 y 16 años, residentes de la Ciudad de México. Se consideró SM con tres o más de los cinco componentes en los distintos criterios; y dos o más componentes con la presencia de obesidad central para IDF. Se consideró como Gold Standard la combinación de los cinco criterios diagnósticos. Para identificar el mejor valor predictivo se calculó sensibilidad, especificidad, valor predictivo positivo (VPP), valor predictivo negativo (VPN) y razón de verosimilitud. Resultados: Se observó una mayor proporción de individuos diagnosticados con SM con el criterio de Ferranti, et al. en comparación con los demás criterios evaluados. Nuestra propuesta ad hoc presentó una alta sensibilidad (0,89) y especificidad (0,90) frente al Gold Standard aplicado. Conclusión: El criterio propuesto por nosotros contiene una elección de componentes sencillos y de bajo costo, que facilitará su aplicación, permitiendo la unificación en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico poblacional, reduciendo los índices de morbimortalidad en mexicanos.

Abstract Introduction: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a public health problem without appropriate strategies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment in children. Existing criteria are controversial and not applicable for pediatric population, with variations according to different authors and expert committees, which could have important consequences in MS diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Objective: To validate different definitions (NCEP-ATPIII; Cook, Ford and Duncan, et al; Ferranti, et al; Cruz, et al; and IDF1) for metabolic syndrome diagnosis in Mexican children. Methodology: Cross-sectional study of 2599 children aged between 6 and 16 years, residents of Mexico City. MS was defined as the presence of three or more of the five components in the different criteria; and two or more components with the presence of central obesity for IDF. The Gold Standard was considered as the combination of the five diagnostic criteria. To identify the best predictive value, sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) and likelihood ratio were calculated. Results: A greater proportion of individuals diagnosed with the Ferranti, et al criterion was observed in comparison with the other criteria evaluated. We proposed an ad hoc criteria which showed a high sensitivity (0,89) and specificity (0,90) compared to the Gold Standard applied. Conclusion: Our diagnostic criteria contains a choice of simple and low-cost components that will facilitate its application in health institutions and will unify-diagnostic criteria, treatment, and prognosis, reducing morbidity and mortality rates in Mexican population.
