Abstract
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to estimate the up-to-date prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and its influencing factors among the Chinese adults. METHODS: Data were obtained from the China Health and Nutrition Survey conducted in 2009, which was a cross-sectional and partially nationally representative study including a total of 7488 Chinese adults (age ≥18 years). RESULTS: The overall age-standardized prevalence estimates of the MS were 21.3% (95%confidence interval (CI): 20.4%-22.2%), 18.2% (95%CI: 17.3%-19.1%) and 10.5% (95%CI: 9.8%-11.2%) based on definitions of revised NCEP ATPIII, IDF and CDS criteria, respectively. Individuals who were women (compared to men: odds ratio [OR]=1.37, 95% CI=1.16-1.61), 40 years or older (compared to less than 40 years old: OR=2.82, 95%CI=2.37-3.34 for 40-59 years; OR=4.41, 95%CI=3.68-5.29 for 60 years or older), overweight/obese (compared to normal weight: OR=4.32, 95%CI=3.77-4.95 for overweight; OR=11.24, 95%CI=9.53-13.26 for obese), and living in urban area (compared to living in rural area: OR=1.27, 95%CI=1.12-1.43) were more likely to have a higher prevalence estimate of MS. In addition, frequency of alcohol consumption and cigarette intake were also found to be significantly associated with probability of MS. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest an urgent need to develop national strategies for the prevention, detection, treatment and control of obesity and MS in China.
