Resumen

El síndrome metabólico (SM) es una entidad que empezó a ser vislumbrada hace menos de 30 años y que progresivamente ha ido ganando protagonismo por su elevada prevalencia y su capacidad de predecir riesgos vinculados a la diabetes y las enfermedades cardiovasculares. Ha sido objeto de diversas denominaciones y definiciones, entre las cuales proponemos adoptar la de la International Diabetes Federation. Recientemente se han planteado reservas acerca de su utilidad y se ha puesto en duda la propia naturaleza del SM como entidad. No obstante, aparece con frecuencia creciente en la literatura médica y el concepto de SM se ha popularizado en el conocimiento médico y de la población general, por lo que creemos oportuno revisar las definiciones propuestas, la etiopatogenia, la prevalencia, su capacidad de predicción de riesgos, las recomendaciones para el manejo de los pacientes con SM y las reservas en cuanto a su valor del SM.
