A 62% had an omnivorous pattern, between western and Mediterranean, 39.2% had vegetarian food pattern, corresponding to lacto-ovo-vegetarian and vegan. There was a statistically significant relationship between dietary patterns and indicators of metabolic syndrome (p <0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between eating patterns and metabolic syndrome in participants, where those who ha...
