Adiposidade corporal, resistência à insulina e risco cardiovascular em mulheres com síndrome metabólica. 2022. 36f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Nutrição), Departamento de Nutrição, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2022.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/46106Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a complex disorder represented by a set of factors related to increased body fat, changes in the lipid profile and insulin resistance. Thus, MS has been widely described in obese women and may contribute to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Given the above, the objective of the present study was to evaluate parameters of body adiposity and its relationship with insulin resistance and cardiovascular risk in women with MS. This is a cross-sectional study, in which 71 women aged between 18 and 60 years and with a BMI above 25.0 kg/m² treated at the Endocrinology and Metabology Service of HC-FMUSP were evaluated. Blood collection was performed to analyze the lipid and glycemic profile and cardiovascular risk indices were calculated. For anthropometric assessment, measurements of weight, height and waist circumference were taken, and nutritional status was assessed by BMI (Kg/m²). The assessment of body fat percentage was performed with the aid of Bioelectrical Impedance. It was observed that the group of women with MS had higher values for Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR), Glycemia, Cholesterol, Triglycerides, VLDL, LDL, No Cholesterol -HDL and Castelli Index I and II, highlighting the positive relationship of MS with chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and CVD. Therefore, the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits is highlighted, such as the practice of physical activity and an adequate and balanced diet, in addition to an early diagnosis and public policies, to minimize the risks of the syndrome and its comorbidities. related.Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/br/Síndrome MetabólicaResistência à insulinaDoenças CardiovascularesPerfil lipídico e glicídico.Metabolic SyndromeInsulin resistanceCardiovascular diseasesLipid and glucose profilebachelorThesis
