Brief summary
A Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), will be provided to 800 adults to assess overall fructose intake and this will be related to a number of features related to the metabolic syndrome, including serum leptin, characteristic features of metabolic syndrome (body mass index, waist circumference, plasma lipids, blood pressure, HOMA index,fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels) and other as: CRP, fibrinogen, homocysteine and uric acid.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Serum leptin levels as it relates to fructose intake | Epidemiological association |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
