Annals of Epidemiology , 10/13/09
Cho ER et al. – The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 18.2% in men and 8.5% in women. After adjustments for age and education levels, household income, smoking status, and alcohol consumption, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among participants in the middle and top tertiles of leisure–time physical activity was significantly lower than that among those with no physical activity; the odds ratios were 0.84 and 0.75, respectively, in men and 0.54 and 0.65, respectively, in women. These results suggest that increasing levels of leisure–time physical activity, in terms of duration or intensity, are linearly associated with a reduced risk for metabolic syndrome.
