title: [EFFECT OF EARLY PROTEIN-CALORIE MALNUTRITION ON NUTRITIONAL STATUS AND ATTRIBUTES OF THE METABOLIC SYNDROME IN YOUNG ADULTS].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  during recent years consistent studies have characterized the relationship between moderate and severe protein-calorie malnutrition and the appearance of non-communicable diseases in adulthood like metabolic syndrome (MS).
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  to analyze the relationship between moderate and severe protein-calorie malnutrition during the first 1 000 days of life and the MS in a cohort of adults from Curicó, Chile.
  
  
  METHODS
  we studied 49 young adults who had suffered moderate to severe protein-calorie malnutrition during their first two years of life. Anthropometry, blood pressure measurement and laboratory tests were performed, and the burden of MS attributes was determined.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the prevalence of MS was 14.3% with no significant differences by gender, showing a direct and significant association between burden of MS and body mass index, waist / height index, blood pressure, plasma levels of glucose and triglyceride, and an inverse association with HDL.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  systolic blood pressure and plasma level of triglyceride represented the most important risk factors for SM in this cohort. We found no association between the presence of protein-calorie malnutrition and MS.
