Abstract:

Metabolic Syndrome (MS) increases the risk of cardiovascular events and recommended intake of fruits and vegetables (FV) is related to its prevention. Objective: To associate the intake of FV with MS and its components in adult population sample. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with 636 adults in the period of 2004 to 2008. Anthropometric, clinical, dietary and biochemical profile were carried out with all participants. MS was classified by the NCEP ATP-III, modified for glucose >100mg/dl. Logistic regression was used to determine the odds ratio between the consumption of FV with MS and its components, and the level of significance adopted was 5%. Results: The intake of fruits had protective effects against obesity (OR: 0.77, CI: 0.38-0.93), hypertriglyceridemia (OR: 0.76, CI: 0.35-0.96) and presence of MS (OR: 0.78, CI: 0.39-0.96), and proper intake of FV showed a protective effect for the presence of MS (OR: 0.79, CI: 0.41-0.95). Vegetables intake did not show protective effects / risk for the presence of MS and its components. Conclusion: Recommended intake of FV showed a protective effect against MS and recommended intake of fruits had a protective effect not only for MS but also for its components.
