Purpose: This study was to investigate the characteristics of metabolic syndrome and factors associated with metabolic syndrome in male soldiers.
Method: The participants were recruited 216 male soldiers visited on health promotion center at a tertiary hospital. Data were collected by self-reporting questionnaire and anthropometric and biochemical measurement. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, χ2-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple logistic regression using SPSS 20.0 program. Metabolic syndrome was defined by harmonizing the metabolic syndrome.
Result: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 12.0%. There were significant differences in all five definitive factors of metabolic syndrome and in age, current smoking, BMI, and exercise among metabolic syndrome group, risk group, and normal group. Multiple logistic regression showed that BMI, exercise, smoking, age were significant risk factors of metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: We suggest that a lifestyle modification program focused on weight control, regular exercise and cessation of smoking strategies should be develop to prevent future increases in cardiovascular complications for young adults. And a screening program to identify the potential group of metabolic syndrome may be helpful.
