Abstract

Recently, there has been an increase in the variety of determinants of Metabolic Syndrome (MS), such as obesity, high cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, increased hypertension, smoking and diabetes mellitus worldwide. This is a reality also experienced in the community assisted by my health team, the family health team (ESF) Walter Martins - Pará de Minas, MG. To minimize or even prevent complications from the onset of metabolic syndrome, the individual should adopt attitudes toward a healthy lifestyle - playing sports, eating properly and not engaging in tobacco and alcohol abuse, and in addition, should also adhere to to the proposed medical treatment for health control. Considering that the ESF Walter Martins serves approximately 4,500 people, most of whom are in a low income situation, without full schooling and in imminent risk of developing the metabolic syndrome, it is necessary to implement the intervention project for provide them with guidelines, supports and effective interventions for health maintenance. The objective of this work is to elaborate an intervention project to effect the performance of the multiprofessional team in the prevention of Metabolic Syndrome in the area of coverage of the health team Walter Martins in Pará de Minas / MG. For the accomplishment of this work it was followed the orientations of the method of the PES. The data collection was done through information registered in the UBS by the health team and other professionals, in addition to the indicators provided by the Municipal Health Department. As theoretical bases were made narrative reviews of literature in the Virtual Health Library of NESCON, scientific journals, in documents of municipal public agencies and manuals of the Ministry of Health. It is expected that with the implementation of this project there will be real and effective changes in the lifestyle of the assisted population in order to greatly improve the health conditions and to minimize the increase of the indices of metabolic syndrome.
