Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine the and gender difference between metabolic syndrome and clinical psychiatric characteristics.
Methods: This study was conducted in local habitants who visited one community health service from July to August 2014. 318 local habitants who have not been diagnosed with psychiatric disorders were evaluated using Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression Scale (CES-D), Reynold Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ, Reynolds), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), Korean version of WHO Quality of Life Scale-Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-BREF), and EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D). Differences in demographic characteristics of both gender were analyzed.
Results: In women, the group with metabolic syndrome showed significantly lower alcohol drinking frequency (p<0.001), educational level (p<0.001) compared to the group without syndrome. Women with metabolic syndrome had lower scores for physical health (p=0.002), environment (p=0.007) on WHOQOL-BREF than those without the syndrome. However, CES-D, EQ-5D, SIQ, Reynolds, and SES show no differences. Among men, no difference was observed in all scales. In addition, in women, logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for confounders, metabolic syndrome group had lower score for physical health (p=0.009), environment (p=0.042) on WHOQOL-BREF than the group without syndrome.
Conclusion: Our study showed an association of metabolic syndrome with poor physical health, environment in women.
