Sumario:Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex global public health problem, and related diseases are a cause of death, which in 2020 was 43%. Treatment and prevention of MetS without drugs have a significant impact by addressing the problem comprehensively. With lifestyle changes, modifying the diet to include bioactive compounds that favor the gut microbiota (IM) and increased physical activity. Because of the IM role in the pathogenesis of MetS, probiotics and prebiotics are incorporated into the diet individually or mixed with foods or supplements in recent years. The present review defines the role of prebiotics in modifying the microbiota for the treatment and prevention of this condition.
