Abstract
A descriptive, cross-sectional and observational study was carried out in Empresa Eléctrica de Riobamba SA (EERSA) in order to identify the risk factors of the metabolic syndrome related to the nutritional status in its workers, during the year 2015. The entire population was part of this research, which was constituted by the medical records of the 105 workers between 25 and 60 years of age from all areas of that institution, who agreed to be part of this research. 73% of the participants were male and the mean age was 44 years. The data collected allowed to establish the predominance of overweight individuals was 50%. The presence of this predisposing factor was observed in 73% of the participants in the study (graph 2) considering the occurrence of a cardiovascular event in the next 10 years (according to the Framinghan score). It was observed that the presence of dyslipidemia prevailed in the study population, as well as high cholesterol levels in 58.1% of individuals; while those relative to LDL were low at 52.38%. The correlation analysis made possible to establish that this was positive and statistically significant in the case of visceral fat mass with respect to body mass index and waist circumference.
