Abstract	The metabolic syndrome (MS) represents a set of cardiometabolic factors in the same individual. Even knowing that the levels of apolipoprotein B (ApoB) are a powerful predictor of cardiovascular risk, the study in patients with metabolic syndrome is scarce. That is why, in this study, their concentrations were evaluated in 31 subjects with metabolic syndrome, while the same were correlated with other parameters that defi ne the syndrome: glucose, lipid profi le, blood pressure and waist circumference. 100% of patients had elevated levels of ApoB while only 12.9% had abnormalities of lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and non-HDL cholesterol. Furthermore, concentrations of ApoB were inversely correlated with intermediate and abdominal circumference (r = -0.4568, p = 0.0104). The results of this study support the inclusion of the measurement of serum ApoB levels as part of the study in clinical laboratories for better clinical and therapeutic approach to patients with metabolic syndrome.
