Aim: To identify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, dyslipidemia, systemic arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus in the adult population.

Introduction: In the last 20 years, there have been many changes in the way of life of the Indians of the Xingu Indigenous Park (PIX), resulting from their contact with our society. Factors such as the increasing consumption of processed foods in substitution of the traditional diet based on natural products, the reduction of physical activity by the incorporation of technology and the monetarization of the economy have produced changes in the epidemiological profile of these populations. Previously non-existent diseases like type 2 diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemias have been increasingly observed. In this work, preliminary results of data collected between February and March 2017 are presented.

Methods: Individuals over 18 years old of both sexes undergoing physical examination (clinical and anthropometric), bioimpedance test to evaluate the percentage of body fat and blood collection by digital puncture for lipid profile and fasting glucose of 8–12h.

Results: The metabolic profile of 188 indigenous people of the Pavuru polo showed: High index of overweight and dyslipidemia in both populations; high central obesity in females; Increased number of hypertensive and fasting blood glucosealtered among men; 25% have intermediate or high cardiovascular risk in the next 10 years among men, almost twice as many women.

Conclusion: Based on the data obtained, we can conclude that the process of socio-cultural transition to which the residents of the 4 villages studied are inserted has a direct impact on the their health, making it imperative to indetificate and delineate the magnitude of the problem, seeking to develop strategies for the primary and secondary prevention of diseases related to nutritional and metabolic alterations and their consequences among the people living in the PIX.1–5
