Background: In these days the metabolic syndrome threatens many people of Korea. Several studies have suggested that the dietary habits are associated with the risk of the metabolic syndrome. The purpose of this study was to find out relations between the components of the metabolic syndrome and the dietary habits.
Methods: The subjects of this study included 1,005 non- smoking premenopausal females aged from 20 to 49 years old who visited the health promotion center of a university hospital. Dietary questionnaire was composed of dietary habits and specific food intake frequency during the past 3 months.
Results: The subjects who had more than one metabolic components were 361 (36%), and those who had the metabolic syndrome was 35 (3.5%). After multivariate logistic analysis adjusted with age, BMI, smoking status, alcohol intake, and exercise, the abdominal obesity risk was significantly increased in those who had irregular meals (P for trend= 0.049), skip meals (P for trend=0.050), faster meal time (P=0.017), and intake of saturated fat more frequently (P=0.043). The abdominal obesity risk was significantly increased in those who overate or binged eating ≥3 times/week than <1 time/week {OR (95% CI), 2.49 (1.07∼5.80)}, intake fruit <1 time/week than 6∼7 times/week {OR (95% CI), 4.46 (1.20∼16.54)}. A risk for high blood pressure was significantly increased in those who had breakfast 1∼2 times/week than those had it 6∼7 times/week {OR (95% CI), 1.91 (1.07∼3.42)}. The risk for impaired fasting glucose was significantly increased in those had breakfast <1 time/week than those who had 6∼7 times/week {OR (95% CI), 2.27 (1.20∼4.28), P for trend=0.018}.
Conclusion: There was a correlation between dietary habits and metabolic syndrome components. Among the dietary habits, irregular meals, skipping breakfast, skipping meals, fast meal time, overeating or binge eating tendency, low intake of fruits and high intake of saturated fat were associated with the risk of the metabolic syndrome components.
