Analysis of prevalence and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome in primary and high school teachers

Objective To explore environment risk factors of metabolic syndrome(MS).Methods A cross-sectional population survey with questionnaires investigation,checkup and laboratory measurement for metabolic syndrome was performed among 2026 teachers,and the Logistic regression was used to analyze the risk factors of MS.Results The education,milk intakes,fish and aquatic products intakes,body exercise and drinking tea were different significantly between male and female individuals.Univariate unconditional logistic regression analysis showed that education,body exercises,fish and aquatic products intakes and drinking tea were benefited to the MS,but the age,sucrose intakes were the risk factors to the MS.The multivariate logistic stepwise regression analysis showed that compared with individuals with no drinking milk,or no fish and aquatic product intake,or no drinking tea,or no sucrose intakes,the milk intakes 250-1500 g/week(OR=0.731,95%CI:0.542-0.987),the fish and aquatic product intake with 250-1000 g/week(OR=0.720,95%CI:0.541-0.959),or sucrose intakes<=250 g/month(OR=0.446,95%CI:0.255-0.779),drinking tea forepassed(OR=0.635,95%CI: 0.458-0.883),and current(OR=21084,95%CI:1.390-3.125)had different levels of risk on MS.Conclusion The age and sucrose intakes are risk factors,and the milk intakes,aquatic products and drinking tea benefits for MS.
