Influence of diatary on metabolic syndrome among community population

Objective To explore the influence of diatary on metabolic syndrome(MS) among community population and to supply dietary improvement suggestions for the prevention of MS.Methods Based on a cross-sectional population study, data were collected with a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and serological examination.Influence factors of MS were analyzed with logistic regression models using SPSS15 0.Results Among 2 943 residents(1 674 men and 1 273 women), the prevalence of MS was 10.32% by Diabetes Branch of Chinese Medical Associatiion(2004) criteria with an increasing tendency with age.The prevalence for hypertension and diabetes among the residents with MS was 55.6% and 20.7%, respectively.Risk factors for MS included age (odds ratioOR=1.280, 95% confidence intervalCI: 1.0591.548), gender(OR=1.769, 95% CI: 1.237-2.528), alcohol consumption(OR=1.961, 95% CI: 1.288-2.985), sodium intake> 300 grams per month (OR=1.990, 95% CI: 1.365-2.901), the history of hypertension (OR=6 868, 95% CI: 5.056-9.328), and diabetes(OR=7.506, 95% CI: 4.665-12.079).Protective factor included nutritional supplements consumption (OR=0.685, 95% CI: 0.476-0.986).The correct prediction probability of MS by logistic regression models was 90.9%.Conclusion Controlling alcohol consumption and salt in the diet, consuming nutritional supplements suitable for MS may be useful to reduce the occurrence of MS.
