Introduction. @entity28 is represented mainly by @entity1144 and insulin resistance (IR), both present in most individuals diagnosed with @entity209 ( @entity209 ). IR is the key risk factor in the pathogenesis of @entity1561 ( @entity1561 ). Objective. To relate @entity1561 to @entity209 in @entity28 individuals. Methodology. A descriptive cross-sectional study with @entity28 individuals, aged >=  20-60 years. Blood pressure measurement, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and blood @entity413 , insulin, high-density lipoprotein @entity165 (HDL-c), and @entity1674 data were obtained. HOMA-IR (homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance) calculation was carried out with a cutoff value of 2.71 for IR evaluation. The diagnosis of @entity1561 was performed by liver biopsy and the diagnosis of @entity209 was performed in accordance with the National @entity165 Education Program/Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEPATP III). Results. Of the 50 individuals evaluated, 86% were @entity1 and BMI means were 45.4        3.6   Kg/m(2). The overall individuals had @entity1561 , 70% @entity1560 , and 30% @entity1560 . The diagnosis of @entity209 occurred in 56% but showed no significant association with @entity1561 (P = 0.254). @entity1674 (178        65.5   mg/dL) and insulin (28.2        22.6   mcU/mL) mean values were significantly higher in @entity1560 (P = 0.002 and P = 0.042, resp.) compared to individuals with @entity1560 . IR was confirmed in 76% and showed a relationship with @entity1561 severity. Conclusion. @entity1561 was not related to @entity209 ; however, @entity209 components, evaluated in isolation, as well as IR, were related to the presence and severity of @entity1561 .
