Studies showed association of income and education with risk factors for metabolic syndrome mainly in women. This research aims to analyze association of income and education in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sample: 200 patients. It is a cross-sectional study. The higher the educational level and lower the income, more risk factors were under control. Possibly better management of income, thereby better choices of healthy items, was related to these results.
