Purpose: This study was to conducted to investigate the prevalence and related factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) among Korean adults.
Methods: We used secondary data of the sixth Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) from 2013 to 2015 and selected 4,939 adults 20 to 64 years old. General characteristics and health-related characteristics were included as related factors for analysis. Chi-square tests were used to compare the prevalence of MS between one-person and multiple-person households, while a multiple logistic regression model was used to identify factors to MS among one-person and multiple-person households.
Results: MS of one-person households (26.4%) were significantly higher (χ2=7.81, p=.017) than multiple-households (19.5%). Risk factors for MS were identified as walking, flexibility exercises, reading nutrition labels, and sleep hours in one-person households; and flexibility exercises and dietary control among multiple-person households using multiple logistic regression.
Conclusion: Specialized health policies and programs should be provided to reduce MS prevalence in one-person households in consideration of risk factors revealed in this study.
