Background: Understanding the metabolic syndrome (MetS) prevalence at the national level is important to
develop effective programs and strategies to prevent and control MetS. This study aimed to analyze the
prevalence of MetS according to gender and aging stage, and its association with potential factors in older
individuals ‡60 years of age in Colombia.
Methods: The data for this study came from a secondary cross-sectional, nationally representative SABE study
Survey on Health, Well-Being, and Aging in Colombia, 2015. A total of 1637 participants (60.7% women,
70.5 – 7.9 years) from 86 Colombian municipalities participated. A structured questionnaire was used to collect
data on socio-demography, lifestyle, and self-report medical conditions. Measurements included anthropometric
(weight, waist circumference, body mass index), sarcopenia ‘‘proxy’’ status (calf circumference) handgrip
strength levels, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, fasting glucose, and blood pressure. Univariate and multiple regression models were established as part of the main analysis.
Results: Using the harmonized Joint Scientific Statement criteria, MetS was present in 54.9% of the
study population, with a higher prevalence among females than males (59.8% vs. 47.3%). Individuals who
were cigarette smokers (odds ratio [OR] = 1.5; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.0–2.4; P = 0.034), female
gender (OR = 1.3; 95% CI = 1.0–1.8; P = 0.020), and sarcopenia ‘‘proxy’’ (OR = 1.6; 95% CI = 1.0–2.5;
P = 0.026) were more likely to have a higher prevalence estimate of MetS, after controlling for relevant
covariates.
Conclusions: Overall prevalence of MetS among older adults in Colombia is high. Smoking, female gender,
and sarcopenia ‘‘proxy’’ status are associated with MetS. These results suggested that MetS is still a serious
public burden in Colombia, and screening for promotion of healthy lifestyle and nutrition counseling should be
offered routinely in old age.
