Introduction: The Metabolic Syndrome (MS) raises Diabetes and Cardiovascular disease risks. Our goal is to know MS prevalence in our population and to know the difference of MS prevalence between workers that work in an industrial zone versus administrative or office zone independently of their specific occupation. Materials and methods: Population was divided in industrial zone (Type 1) and non industrial or office zone (Type 2). It is a Case-Control study; the exposure is the job in industrial zone and the disease is the presence of MS. A multivariate model using lineal regression was used. Results: 891 workers were evaluated, Type 1 population was 722 (81.03%) and Type 2 population was 169 (18.97%). MS prevalence was 27.83%. Type 1 MS prevalence was 28.94% and Type 2 MS prevalence was 23.07%, p < 0.05. It was found p<0.01 for age, Body mass index (BMI), Arterial Tension, Glycemia, triglycerides and HDL measures. Relative risk of Type 1 job for complaint MS was 1.358 CI (1.19-2.45). Conclusion: Those Type 1 workers have more risk of MS because of high calories food consumption and less physical effort overcoat in specific job activities.
