Factors Associated with Metabolic Syndrome Among Middle-Aged Women in Their 50s: Based on National Health Screening Data

This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome among middle-aged women in their 50s to provide a strategy for managing the metabolic syndrome of those whose prevalence is rapidly increasing. Secondary data from the 2012 Korean National Health Insurance Service Medic...

description This study aimed to identify the risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome among middle-aged women in their 50s to provide a strategy for managing the metabolic syndrome of those whose prevalence is rapidly increasing. Secondary data from the 2012 Korean National Health Insurance Service Medical check-up cohort database were analyzed. Participants included 36,582 middle-aged women in their 50s from the cohort who received a general medical check-up. The risk factors were estimated using logistic regression analysis. Metabolic syndrome was identified in 14.6% of the surveyed persons among middle-aged women in their 50s. Working women, low household income levels, country residents, high body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol of over 240 mg/dL, non-drinker, non-exerciser, history of diabetes or hypertension, and family history of diabetes were associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome. It is necessary to prepare a strategy to increase access to health care services so that socioeconomic vulnerability does not lead to negative health behavior such as obesity and lack of physical activity. In particular, we recommend active interventions at workplaces for the working women who have a higher risk of metabolic syndrome.
