description Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a set of metabolic alterations considered a risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes. In recent years, due to harmful changes in lifestyle, the increase in the prevalence of SM worldwide is alarming. In Argentina, epidemiological studies on SM report a prevalence of 25%. One of the groups at highest risk for this syndrome are older adults. Objectives: Determine the prevalence of MS and its diagnostic components. To analyze whether MS is associated with an increase in mortality. A retrospective observational study was carried out (period 2018-2022) of all medical records (n=1020) of older adults (≥65 years), patients at the San Ricardo Pampuri Medical Center, Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba. Diagnostic criteria for MS: present at least 3 of these 5 components: 1-BMI≥30; 2-Triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL; 3-HDL cholesterol ≤40 mg/dL in men or ≤50 mg/dL in women and/or total cholesterol ≥ 200 mg/dL; 4-Elevated blood pressure ≥140/90 mmHg; 5- Fasting glucose ≥100 mg/dL. These variables were analyzed and the prevalence of MS was determined. Mortality and its causes were studied and the risk for patients with MS was calculated. Statistical analysis was performed with Infostat (p≤0.05), ANOVA (Tukey post hoc) tests were used for continuous variables and Chi square for discrete variables. In this work, the rules of confidentiality and anonymity of the participants were respected. Population data: 62% female/38% male. Average age: 78.8. Prevalence: SM=57% (Male: 56% and Women: 59%); obesity=69%, hypertriglyceridemia=57%, hypercholesterolemia=49%, HBP=69%, hyperglycemia=54%. Mortality: 11.27% in the period. Increased risk of mortality for people with MS (Masc=1.26; Fem=1.45; OR:1.13). Women with MS have shorter survival (age of death MS: 77.72 vs. Non-MS: 83.88 years). Qualitative and quantitative differences were found in the proportional causes of mortality between the group with MS and those without. MS showed a high prevalence in older adults, equally for all components of its diagnosis. MS increased the risk of mortality and decreased survival, more markedly in women. The diagnosis of MS is important, mainly in vulnerable populations, to improve its prevention and treatment.

El síndrome metabólico (SM) es un conjunto de alteraciones metabólicas consideradas como factor de riesgo para desarrollar enfermedad cardiovascular y diabetes. En los últimos años, debido a cambios perjudiciales en los hábitos de vida el incremento en la prevalencia de SM a nivel mundial es alarmante. En Argentina los estudios epidemiológicos sobre SM, reportan una prevalencia del 25%. Uno de los grupos de mayor riesgo para este síndrome son los adultos mayores. Objetivos: Determinar la prevalencia del SM y sus componentes diagnósticos. Analizar si el SM se asocia con un aumento de la mortalidad. Se realizó un estudio observacional retrospectivo (período 2018-2022) de todas las historias clínicas (n=1020) de adultos mayores (≥65 años), pacientes del Centro Médico San Ricardo Pampuri, Villa Carlos Paz, Córdoba. Criterio diagnóstico de SM: presentar al menos 3 de estos 5 componentes: 1-IMC≥30; 2-Triglicéridos≥ 150 mg/dL; 3-Colesterol HDL≤40 mg/dL en hombres o ≤50 mg/dL en mujeres y/o colesterol total≥ 200 mg/dL; 4-Elevación de la presión arterial ≥140/90 mmHg; 5- Glucosa de ayunas ≥100 mg/dL.  Se analizaron estas variables y se determinó la prevalencia del SM. Se estudió la mortalidad, sus causas y se calculó el riesgo para pacientes con SM. El análisis estadístico se realizó con Infostat (p≤0,05), se usaron test ANOVA (post hoc Tukey) para variables continuas y Chi cuadrado para discretas. En este trabajo se respetaron las normas de confidencialidad y anonimato de los participantes. Datos poblacionales: 62% femenino/38%masculino. Edad promedio:78,8. Prevalencias: SM=57% (Masc: 56% y Fem: 59%); obesidad=69%, hipertrigliceridemia=57%, hipercolesterolemia=49%, HTA=69%, hiperglucemia=54%. Mortalidad: 11,27% en el período. Riesgo aumentado de mortalidad para personas con SM (Masc=1,26; Fem=1,45; OR:1,13). Mujeres con SM tienen menor sobrevida (Edad fallecimiento SM: 77,72 vs No SM: 83,88 años). Se encontraron diferencias cualitativas y cuantitativas en las causas de mortalidad proporcionales entre el grupo con SM y el que no. El SM mostró una alta prevalencia en adultos mayores, igualmente para todos los componentes de su diagnóstico. El SM aumentó el riesgo de mortalidad y disminuyó la sobrevida, más marcadamente en mujeres.  El diagnóstico de SM es importante, principalmente en poblaciones vulnerables, para mejorar su prevención y tratamiento.
