The work presents the educational contributions to the prevention of metabolic syndrome in the Education program. Biology. Actions are examined that, from the degree training, can be implemented from the different disciplines that are studied in the degree, for this a review of the scientific literature that is related to the topic and that has been published in the last five years was carried out. years. The review made it possible to recommend different educational content activities aimed at prevention and that, in light of the social role of the professional in training, for whom the proposal is directed, focuses on the impact that future Biology teachers should exercise in their teaching work. in Basic Secondary School. The frank exchange with students on the basis of experiential contributions, which emanate, to a large extent, from their interpersonal relationships is present in an important part of the interventions proposed. Although undergraduate educational activity offers ample potential to induce various coping actions based on the referential knowledge of the traits that manifest in metabolic syndrome, it is no less true that a motivation inducing the active search for knowledge, on the part of students, for the purposes of inducing and strengthening appropriate attitudes of self-care of health with a preventive nature and that at the same time radiates towards their contexts of family and professional action.
