SUMMARY:

Introduction: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have accelerated atherosclerosis and an elevated risk of premature morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD). Metabolic syndrome (MetS), a cluster of factors associated with increased risk of CVD, has a higher frequency in these patients, due to the inflammatory process of RA. Objective: To estimate the frequency of MetS and its impact on quality of life in a sample of patients with and without RA treated at a rheumatology facility from Alagoas. Methods: Outpatients with and without RA were cross-sectionally evaluated with respect to  demographic, clinical, laboratory, anthropometric and quality of life data. The criterion used to define RA was the one adopted by the American College of Rheumatology in collaboration with the European League Against Rheumatism in 2010, and the criterion used to identify MetS was the Harmonized version of 2009. Results: 70 patients were enrolled, being 45 cases and 26 controls, which after screening were subdivided into 20 cases, 24 cases with MetS, 16 controls and 10 controls with MetS. The frequency of MetS in RA was 54% and 38.4% in patients without RA. Patients with RA had higher levels of HDL-c and worse quality of life. Conclusion: Based on current knowledge, it is possible to state that the frequency of MetS was higher in patients with RA compared to those without RA, and this process was associated with the inflammatory activity of RA. Furthermore, a greater impairment on quality of life in individuals with RA and MetS was observed when compared with CT individuals with and without MetS.
