Inadequate dietary habits, sedentary lifestyle, and increased life expectancy significantly contribute to the
prevalence of metabolic syndrome. This condition predisposes an individual to develop type 2 diabetes
mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, which have a broad impact on public health, inducing a burden on
the healthcare system and reducing the quality of life of affected individuals. Metabolic syndrome is a
multifactorial disease and is related to the aging process; however, there is still a significant gap in terms
of studies on the prevalence of the condition in elderly populations. In this context, this study aimed
to screen the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in participants of the Open University for the Third
Age (UNATI), located in Francisco Beltrão, Paraná. The diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome
addressed in this research include: abdominal circumference ≥ 90 cm for men and ≥ 80 cm for women,
triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dL, HDL ≤ 40 mg/dL for men and ≤ 50 mg/dL for women, systolic blood pressure
≥ 130 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 85 mmHg or being on pharmacotherapy for hypertension,
in addition to fasting glucose ≥ 100 mg/dL or being on pharmacological treatment for diabetes. A total
of 44 elderly individuals were evaluated, with a mean age of 66.9 ± 7.1 years, predominantly women
(88%). The results revealed an alarming prevalence of metabolic syndrome, affecting 36.4% of the
studied sample. Furthermore, a high prevalence of associated conditions was observed, such as arterial
hypertension (67.2%), overweight (58.6%), and visceral obesity (31%). These findings underscore the
importance of implementing preventive measures aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles and controlling
metabolic risk factors
