Abstract EN
The objective of this research was to determine the frequency for the occurrence of MS in dogs, using the criteria determined, and to correlate the criteria of dogs that would characterize the MS with different body condition score (BCS).
271 dogs with different body scores were studied, with 101 dogs with BCS 4-5; 101 dogs with BCS 6-7; and 69 dogs with BCS 8-9.
Among the dogs studied, 62 (22,87%) had two or more inclusion criteria for MS.
Of these, 28 had BCS 6-7, while 34 dogs had BCS 8-9.
Therefore, 27,72% of overweight dogs had inclusion criteria for MS and 49,27% of obese ones had two or more inclusion criteria for MS.
When only overweight and obese dogs were considered as a total population, it was observed that 36,47% got inclusion criteria for the MS.
No dog with BCS 4-5 showed two or more inclusion criteria for MS.
The metabolic syndrome, according to the parameters for inclusion defined in the literature, was observed in 22,87% of the animals studied and in 36% of dogs overweight or obese.
Furthermore, MS was most common in obese (49%) compared to overweight dogs (27%).
