Abstract
4,480 healthy workers were examined for the association between metabolic syndrome diagnostic components and health-related quality of life.
- Participants were categorized based on the number of metabolic syndrome diagnostic components, with counts of 2,287, 1,135, 722, 282, and 54 for 0 to 4 components, respectively.
- An increase in the number of metabolic syndrome diagnostic components was significantly associated with lower General Health scores, indicated by odds ratios ranging from 0.59 to 0.82 (P < 0.05).
- Conversely, more metabolic syndrome diagnostic components were positively associated with higher Mental Health scores, with an odds ratio of 1.37 (P < 0.05).
- These associations were consistent when adjusted for lifestyle factors in both men and women.
