Abstract

Abstract:The metabolic syndrome is an aggregation of biochemical and physical conditions that presage the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The history of the metabolic syndrome is rooted in the recognition of adipose tissue as a biologically active heterogeneous organ, as well as in the concepts of insulin resistance and its consequences (Leslie, Brewer, Cleeman, & al., 2005) The metabolic syndrome consists of five factors for ASCVD: atherogenic dyslipidemia, high blood pressure, blood glucose, pro-thrombotic status and pro-inflammatory status. The most recognized metabolic risk factors are atherogenic dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and high plasma glucose. Individuals with these characteristics commonly manifest a prothrombotic state and a pro-inflammatory state as well (Bazzino, Vázquez, & Detomasi, n.d.) Based on the foregoing and In order to meet the objectives of the investigation, the components of the Metabolic Syndrome, the administrative staff of the Socio-Humanistic area of ​​the "Technical University of Loja", were clinically and analytically measured.
