Overweight and obesity (OW/Ob) are chronic inflammatory diseases. These are frequent, expensive and very serious that results from altered behavioral patterns, socio-economic profiles and nutritional habits. As a result of an excess of energy consumption and a decrease in energy expenditure, adipose tissue is inflamed with production of pro-inflammatory factors, which lead to a number of metabolic alterations, being one of the more serious the metabolic syndrome (MS). MS includes a constellation of chronic inflammatory diseases resulting from a systemic inflammation status. The main components of the SM include: central obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and dyslipidemia in a framework of systemic inflammation and oxidative stress. This project aims at studying whether there is a relationship between food patterns and the prevalence of MS in patients with OW/Ob in the San Luis City. To achieve this we propose, in a population of men and women from San Luis City between 18-80 years, to determine: ii) the prevalence of MS in obese patients, i) the prevalence of overweight and obesity; (iii) food habits and socio-cultural pattern that may affect the prevalence of obesity and overweight; and (iv) the possible association between eating patterns and prevalence of MS in overweight and obese patients. The information gathered from this project will provide biochemical and epidemiological data that will allow us to provide useful information for the development of new health policies guided to improve eating habits to reduce the incidence of overweight, obesity and SM in this population.
