Resumen
SANTOS-BARROS, Vinicius et al. Perceived stress in women with metabolic syndrome: a cross-sectional study. Rev Cuid [online]. 2023, vol.14, n.1, e13. Epub 28-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2216-0973. https://doi.org/10.15649/cuidarte.2634.
Introduction:
Perceived stress has been suggested as a risk factor for the development of Metabolic Syndrome (MS). However, little is known about this association among women.
Objective:
To evaluate perceived stress in women with Metabolic Syndrome (MS).
Materials and Methods:
Cross-sectional study, based on a non-randomized clinical trial, with patients from a public health center (RBR-43K52N). The outcome variable was MS, using the NCEP/ATPIII criteria. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, biochemical, hemodynamic data and PSS application were collected.
Results:
The sample consisted of 75 women affected by MetS (47.69± 8.15 years old; 155.65±0.07 cm; 82.43±17.79 kg; BMI of 33.96±6 ,42). High WHR values were found among stressed and non-stressed women. The average PSS score was 27.73±9.17. In the groups, there was a significant difference for PSS between stressed and non-stressed women (35.24±5.22 and 20.42±5.53, respectively; p=0.001). It was also observed that stressed women had higher levels of triglycerides and lower levels of HDL-c when compared to non-stressed women, although without statistical difference.
Discussions:
The findings suggest that women categorized as stressed had higher PSS scores, higher levels of triglycerides and lower levels of HDL-c when compared to non-stressed women.
Conclusions:
the PSS score was significantly higher among women with altered MS lipid parameters, with lower levels of HDL- and increased triglycerides.
