<p>The study included a group of 42 patients with metabolic syndrome and 32 patients without metabolic syndrome. The following biological data: BMI, blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, low HDL cholesterol levels were statistically compared using the ANOVA test. To assess the impact on quality of life, patients in both groups completed the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire. To verify the statistical confirmation of the results we used the Chi 2 test. In order to correlate the results with the gender and age of the patients, we formed the following age groups 45-54 years, 55-64 years, 65-74 years and over 75 years. We found that the dimensions that affect the quality of life differ depending on the age group as follows: in the 55-64 age group pain / discomfort predominates p = 0.009 and in the 65-74 age group the mobility and self-care dimensions p = 0.043 predominate. We did not obtain statistical confirmation by the Chi 2 test in patients with metabolic syndrome and the variable blood pressure Chi 2 = 5.27 and p = 0.072</p>
