The study was carried out in 141 civil servants between 27 and 70 years of age, prior to it, a socialization was carried out on the subject and the methodology to be developed, then a survey was applied to know sociodemographic data and risk factors; in addition to an informed consent to be able to carry out the respective analyzes. Next, clinical data such as blood pressure, anthropometric indices and extraction of blood samples were taken to be analyzed in the Laboratory of Biochemical and Bacteriological Analysis of the Sciences Faculty of Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) using the spectrophotometric method; the analysis of: glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL-C and LDL-C was performed. The results obtained from the surveys and clinical tests were tabulated and statistically analyzed applying the Chisquare test in SPSS Statistics 25. A prevalence of 39.7% of MS was determined, corresponding to 56 people in an age range between 49 to 65 years; the most prevalent altered parameters are: abdominal circumference (100%), followed by high GAD (50%) and decreased HDL-C (30%). Among the risk factors that predispose the presence of MS were: type of diet, lack of physical activity, family history and high BMI. Concluding that the prevalence of MS is increased due to the unhealthy lifestyle (inadequate diet and sedentary lifestyle) that people lead, especially in adults from 35 years of age onwards due to the lack of knowledge about the pathology and its complications. It is recommended to carry out continuous training and promote the health care through medical check-ups by the occupational doctor to avoid possible complications.
