Abstract

|
This study explored the link between metabolic syndrome risk factors and dementia in Korea using national aging panel data from the 8th Korean Longitude Study of Ageing. With a sample of 341 individuals, a structural equation model assessed the relationship between BMI, health behavior, subjective health status, high blood pressure, diabetes, and dementia levels. Significant associations were found between physical measurements, health behavior, subjective health status, high blood pressure, diabetes, and dementia levels, with high blood pressure and diabetes acting as mediators. Managing these conditions through lifestyle improvements and treatment is crucial for reducing dementia risk. The study's use of representative data enhances generalizability, but limitations include missing variables and observational constraints, emphasizing the need for future research integrating multiple data sources for a comprehensive understanding of the metabolic syndrome-dementia relationship.
