Abstract
The metabolic syndrome represents a challenge for public health, since it generates an increase in morbidity and mortality in the population and its prevalence is increasing at all ages. It is due to a complex interaction between genetic, behavioral and environmental factors whose harmful effects on the physical health of the individual have been shown to start their affectation from intrauterine life and remain until adulthood. It is a diagnostic challenge in pediatric age, due to lack of consensus in its definition and diagnostic criteria. Regarding the approach, it also poses a challenge due to the multiple factors to be treated, however, the importance of promoting prevention in the first place has been demonstrated, since the younger age and the less advance of the harmful effects, the greater benefit obtained. For this, parents and children are trained to follow healthy habits of physical activity, sleep patterns, breastfeeding and subsequently a healthy diet. There are also options aimed at treating those who already suffer from it, and one of the strategies with the best results is the use of cognitive-behavioral therapy, but in turn there are more objects of study for the future.
