Relación entre los niveles séricos de vitamina D y el riesgo a desarrollar síndrome metabólico

Abstract

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in recent years has increased and is categorized as a serious global health problem, it is defined as a set of metabolic conditions that increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. While Vitamin D (Vit. D) is a fat-soluble prohormone, altered serum levels focused on Vit. D deficiency is part of new functions related to various diseases. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the scientific evidence and determine the relationship between serum levels of vitamin D and the risk of developing MetS. Methods: For the execution of the literature review article, a documentary research method was used through a search for information in journal databases such as SciELO, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Science, and Medline Results: The articles investigated provide relevant information on, the physiopathology of metabolic syndrome and its various components, as well as physiopathology, Vit. D deficit and supplementation of the same, evidence was also found on the relationship of Vit. D deficit and MetS. Conclusions: Low serum levels ordeficit of Vit. D could be related to the different components that help the development of MetS. Vitamin D supplementation has great positive benefits in people suffering fromMetS.
