(2) Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study, conducted with 790 individuals. For the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, the National Cholesterol Education Program\u2019s Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATP III) and International Diabetes Federation (IDF) criteria were used. Pearson\u2019s chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to verify factors associated with metabolic syndrome (3) Results: The prevalence of MS according to the IDF criteria was 16.3% overall, with 9.7% of women (95% CI: 6.66\u201316.16) and 6.6% of men (95% CI: 5.17\u201311.97). According to the NCEP\/ATP III criterion, it was 12.3% overall, with 7.5% corresponding to women (95% CI: 6.62\u201313.13) and 4.8% to men (95% CI: 3.5\u20138.70). With regard to the conditions that make up metabolic syndrome, it was found that high density lipoprotein, high blood pressure and high waist circumference were the most prevalent. (4) Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is considerable in the population when compared to other regions, both rural and urban, in Brazil.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20146328","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,10]],"date-time":"2023-07-10T01:02:50Z","timestamp":1688950970000},"page":"6328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Metabolic Syndrome and Associated Factors in Farmers in Southeastern Brazil: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Ana Clara Petersen","family":"Cremonini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J\u00falia Rabelo Santos","family":"Ferreira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cleodice Alves","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"},{"name":"Graduate Program Nutrition and Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Camila Bruneli","family":"do Prado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Glenda Blaser","family":"Petarli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monica","family":"Cattafesta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1881-0306","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Luciane Bresciani","family":"Salaroli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Program Collective Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"},{"name":"Graduate Program Nutrition and Health, Health Sciences Center, Federal University of Esp\u00edrito Santo, Vitoria 29043900, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Castro-Barquero, S., Ruiz-Le\u00f3n, A.M., Sierra-P\u00e9rez, M., and Estruch, R.
