Abstract

Objective: To identify the association of the type of eating behavior with the metabolic syndrome in Mexican employees of a health institute.

Materials and Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in administrative workers. Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded. Fasting glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels were measured. Weight, height, waist circumference and blood pressure were measured. Body composition was obtained through bioimpedance. Eating behavior was measured through a validated questionnaire. The diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome (MS) was based on the IDF (International Diabetes Federation) criteria.

Results: 216 workers were included, 146 (68%) were women. The median age was 42 years. Eating behavior was healthy 27%, regular 46% and unhealthy 26%.  MS was found in 39% of the population (37.0% were women and 44% were men).  49% had MS and unhealthy eating behaviors compared to 25% with healthy eating behaviors (p=0.0199). The risk of having SM was associated with older age with a risk (OR:1.05; 95%CI: 1.02-1.08; p=0.001), as well as with unhealthy eating behaviors (OR: 2.5; 95%CI: 1.29-5.24; p=0.013).

Conclusions: The risk factors most associated with MS in workers are older age and unhealthy eating behaviors.
