Scientific titlePrevalence of the metabolic syndrome and its components in relation to lifestyle in a Spanish community cohort: A cross sectional study
Study acronymDETECTA
Study objectivesThe metabolic syndrome is a cluster of cardio-metabolic risk factors closely linked to abdominal obesity and insulin resistance that considerably increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes and is reported to affect close of 25% of the population worldwide. The global obesity epidemic, associated with unhealthy diets and sedentariness, is also present in Spain, where a high frequency of the metabolic syndrome is predicted. This topic has only been partially investigated, no data for the overall Spanish population is available, and associations with socioeconomic and lifestyle factors have not been assessed. We hypothesised an overall 30% prevalence of the metabolic syndrome closely related to age, socioeconomic status and lifestyle.
Ethics approval(s)The institutional review board of the Hospital Clinic of Barcelona approved on the 11th of March 2010 (ref: 2010/5674)
