Introduction:

Metabolic syndrome is considered as a set of risks factors for developing cardiovascular and diabetic diseases. Additionally, biomarkers determine a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. Several of them can cause metabolic syndrome, and one of them, stress, is conceived as an individual’s reaction to events or situations that exceed adaptation mechanisms.

Materials and methods:

A systematic review was carried out using database such as PubMed, Redalyc, Scielo and Google Scholar, which included research that relates oxidative stress to biomarkers of metabolic syndrome in publications from January 2017 to November 2022. The criteria considered were those of the PRISMA Declaration.

Results:

A total of 32 articles were included, and it was possible to observe that the biomarkers of oxidative stress that influence the condition of metabolic syndrome are diverse and can affect humans in multiple ways, generating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular, pulmonary, and even neuropsychological.

Conclusions:

Oxidative stress biomarkers have a direct influence on suffering from metabolic syndrome and are identified as a determining factor in diagnosing diseases that trigger this syndrome.
