Abstract

Abstract: The metabolic syndrome is a condition that predisposes the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Situation that allowed to propose the objective of the research as to evaluate the anthropometric indices that predict the metabolic syndrome by analyzing the annual medical records of preventive medicine, in the military personnel of the Army Soldiers Training School "Vencedores del Cenepa", during a cohort 3 years from 2019 to 2021. Therefore, the present investigative work was planned as an observational epidemiological study, of an analytical type, and with a case-control design. Obtaining overweight military population, in addition, a prevalence of metabolic syndrome, according to ALAD criteria, of 1%, 1.66% and 0.76%, in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively, as well as, according to ATP III criteria, a prevalence of 6.67%, 6.31% and 5.70% in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively. This allowed us to conclude that anthropometric indices, such as waist-height index, abdominal circumference and body mass index significantlypredict the development of metabolic syndrome in military personnel from the Army Soldiers Training School "Vencedores del Cenepa"
