BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome is a complex disorder represented by a set of cardiovascular risk factors. A healthy lifestyle is strongly related to improve quality of Life and interfere positively in the control of risk factors presented in this condition. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of a program of lifestyle modification on the Framingham general cardiovascular risk profile in subjects diagnosed with metabolic syndrome. METHODS: A sub-analysis study of a randomized clinical trial controlled blind that lasted three months. Participants were randomized into four groups: dietary intervention plus placebo (DIP), dietary intervention plus supplementation of omega 3 (fish oil 3 g/day) (DIS3), dietary intervention plus placebo plus physical activity (DIPE) and dietary intervention plus physical activity plus supplementation of omega 3 (DIS3PE). The general cardiovascular risk profile of each individual was calculated before and after the intervention. RESULTS: The study included 70 subjects. Evaluating the score between the pre and post intervention yielded a significant value (p < 0.001). We obtained a reduction for intermediate risk in 25.7% of subjects. After intervention, there was a significant reduction (p < 0.01) on cardiovascular age, this being more significant in groups DIP (5.2%) and DIPE (5.3%). CONCLUSION: Proposed interventions produced beneficial effects for reducing cardiovascular risk score. This study emphasizes the importance of lifestyle modification in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.
