Abstract
A total of 39,182 male employees were followed for up to seven years to assess lifestyle factors associated with new-onset metabolic syndrome (MetS).
- Seven high-risk lifestyle factors were significantly linked to new-onset MetS, including short sleep duration, shift work, and insufficient days off work.
- The hazard ratio for developing MetS increased with the number of high-risk lifestyle factors: 1.22 for 2-3 factors and 1.43 for 4-7 factors.
- Specific behaviors such as always eating until full, not walking regularly, high alcohol intake, and smoking were also identified as high-risk factors.
- The findings suggest that a higher number of these lifestyle risks may lead to an increased likelihood of developing MetS.
