Abstract

Objective: To clarify which lifestyle habits are essentially associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). <br>Methods: A total of 14,762 subjects (8,441 males, 6,321 females, age: 23-80, mean 49.2) underwent Ningen Dock (comprehensive health examination) at our clinic from June 2008 to December 2008. Lifestyle habits associated with MS were analyzed by logistic regression. Associations with constituent factors of MS, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and impaired fasting glucose, were also investigated. <br>Results: Among our subjects, 1,343 were assigned to an MS group and 12,109 to a non-MS group. Significant risk factors for MS were male gender, eating fast, dinner late at night, age, frequent dining out, drinking, and attempt to improve lifestyle. On the other hand, protective factors were light exercise, walking fast, regular meals and sufficient vegetable intake. There were some differences when lifestyle habits associated with constituent factors of MS, such as hypertension, dyslipidemia and impaired fasting glucose, were analyzed separately.<br>Conclusions: To improve MS, it would be effective to focus on the significant risk and protective factors indicated by this study. In addition, it would be possible to determine which lifestyle habits should be considered with priority depending on whether the problem is hypertension, dyslipidemia or impaired fasting glucose.
