The undernutrition has been appointed as a risk factor to cause chronic diseases in later life. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its relationship to short stature, as evidence of stunting in early life in adults. It is a cross-sectional study of adult population (age 20 to 64 years old) living in the metropolitan area of São Paulo city (SP, Brazil). The sample comprehended a total of 287 individuals, 214 (74.6%) were women and 73 (25.4%) were men. The anthropometric, clinical and biochemical data were collected through the physical exam and the fast blood after 8 hours. The standard prevalence for sex and age to metabolic syndrome was 34.0% and the short stature was 29.0%. In multiple logistic regression analyses the metabolic syndrome showed to be associated to short stature adjusted by sex, age, education, income, smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of coronary disease, hypertension, diabetes and body mass index. In this study was demonstrated association between metabolic syndrome and short stature in adults.
营养不良已被认定为导致晚年慢性疾病的一个风险因素。本研究的目的是调查代谢综合征的患病率及其与身材矮小的关系，身材矮小是成年人早年发育迟缓的证据。这是一项针对居住在巴西圣保罗市大都市区（圣保罗，巴西）的成年人群（年龄在20至64岁之间）的横断面研究。样本共计287人，其中214人（74.6%）为女性，73人（25.4%）为男性。人体测量、临床和生化数据通过体格检查和8小时空腹血样采集获得。代谢综合征的性别和年龄标准患病率分别为34.0%，身材矮小的患病率为29.0%。在多因素逻辑回归分析中，经性别、年龄、教育程度、收入、吸烟、饮酒、冠心病家族史、高血压、糖尿病和体重指数校正后，代谢综合征与身材矮小相关。本研究证实了成年人代谢综合征与身材矮小之间存在关联。
