Introduction: In Mexico as the rest of Latin America, our nutritional habits, cultural and educational favor to risk factors for developing chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity or disorders such as cholesterolemia, increased cholesterol and triglyceride. When three or more of the above factors are presented together provide which we know as metabolic syndrome.
Objetive: Determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and risk factors for developing in university students.
Methods: The study was conducted to first year students of the Health Sciences and Social Work at the Universidad Veracruzana campus Minatitlán, taking into account the results of the Integral Health Examination that were applied to them when entering the university, also was performed as a rapid glucose test, somatometry, and a socio-demographic questionnaire. A population of 91 students from the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Social Work were studied, of which 73.6 % were women and 26.4 % were men, with a mean age of 19.2 ± 1,1 years.
Results: Where 6.6 % were found to have metabolic syndrome. We also observed that 37.4 % had a risk factor, 12 % had two risk factors and 44 % did not show any risk factors. Being the main risk factor the obesity present in 44 % of the students, followed by hypertriglyceridemia.
Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the newly enrolled students of the Health Sciences Area and Social Work of the Minatitlán campus is high with respect to national and international reports, where more than 50 % presents some risk factor, being obesity the main one in a greater predominance in women.
