Sumario:Abstract:Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in adults in Salta according to criteria from International Federation of Diabetes (IFD) and Latin American Association of Diabetes (LAAD). Analyze the relationship between obesity and Metabolic Syndrome. Methodology: cross-sectional study, secondary data base (Nutritional Survey, Salta. 2014) Variables: MS: criteria IFD/LAAD, sex, age, nutritional status. Analysis: frequency distribution, comparison of measures. Logistic regression. EXCEL, SPSS 18. Results: We evaluated 425 adults; 63.5 % women. The prevalence of MS was 20.9% according to LAAS, 30.8% according to IFD, greater in males (34.2 and 41.9%). The prevalence of Overweight/Obesity was 61.8%. The mean values of BMI, triglycerides and blood pressure in males were higher than the critical limits. Regression models (IFD/LAAD) showed that the probability to develop MS was greater in males, increased with age (?65 years) and with overweight/obesity. Conclusions: we observed differences in the prevalence of MS according to the medical diagnosis used, being associated with overweight/obesity.
