Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a set of risk factors that occur simultaneously increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases with a common pathophysiology. This study was
based on a descriptive, prospective design made to 58 field workers in the maintenance area of the central campus of the University of San Carlos of Guatemala during 2014,
were we applied the diagnostic criteria of the ATP III panel for MS and relate them with a conducted analysis to evaluate factors associated like level of blood pressure, waist circumference and 3 biochemical parameters (triglycerides, glucose and HDL) MS was estimated to have a frequency of 13.8% on the study sample, where 94.8 % are males and 5.2% females. The age group that had the highest rate was between 40-49 years old who presented positivity to MS conditions with 28.6%. The parameters
most frequently encountered in the development of MS were finding increased serum triglycerides and HDL
cholesterol decreased 77.6% and 62.1%, respectively.
