There are few national data and data from other countries in the region regarding the relationship between Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and Hypothyroidism (HPT). Some studies report that people with poor eating habits or advanced ages have a higher risk of developing one or both diseases. Objectives: To determine the relationship between Hypothyroidism and Metabolic Syndrome in women from 40 to 65 years old, members of the ESPOIR Foundation in the province of Manabí - Ecuador through laboratory tests and anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and analytical observational study to estimate the relationship between Hypothyroidism and Metabolic Syndrome in adult Ecuadorian women. A sample of 137 women between the ages of 40 and 65, members of the ESPOIR Foundation from the cities of Manta and Portoviejo, was recruited in the third semester of 2018. Laboratory results, anthropometric measurements, and other clinical characteristics were evaluated. For the description of the categorical variables, absolute and relative frequencies were used, for the calculation of the association measures (Prevalence ratio) a regression model was built that responded to the research hypothesis, as well as the control of the effect of some possible confounders of the evaluated relationship. All analyzes were performed with a 95% confidence interval and p < 0.05 was considered significant. All the instruments used for data collection were previously piloted and the personnel in charge of collecting the information was duly trained. Results: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome was 67,2% and Hypothyroidism 13,7%. 10% of the population presented both pathologies. In the Linear Regression model for Metabolic Syndrome we obtained an (R2) of 0.003185 and for Hypothyroidism of 0.003185. Conclusions. There is no association between the MetS and hypothyroidism. Although few studies exist in this regard, it is necessary to continue investigating the behavior of these pathologies and the variables that compose them.
