The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components in relation to different Body Mass Index (BMI) categories in young Finnish males. Different components of MetS were assessed in 1099 healthy Finnish male military conscripts of about 19 years of age. Prevalence of MetS and its components, according to criteria given by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII), were calculated for different BMI categories. Based on the complete sample, prevalence of MetS, according to IDF and ATPIII criteria, was 6.8 and 3.5%, respectively. MetS prevalence increased in parallel with an increase in BMI. In obese persons it occurred in 55.4 and 27.2% according to IDF and ATPIII criteria, respectively. Our observations on MetS prevalences (which were especially high in obese service men) were in line with those few studies carried out earlier in the USA. We recommend that health education focus on those individuals that show an elevated risk of developing, already in young adulthood, cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.
本研究旨在调查芬兰年轻男性中代谢综合征（MetS）及其各组分与不同体重指数（BMI）类别的关系。对1099名年龄约19岁的健康芬兰男性应征入伍者的MetS不同组分进行了评估。根据国际糖尿病联盟（IDF）和美国国家胆固醇教育计划成人治疗专家组第三次报告（ATPIII）给出的标准，计算了不同BMI类别中MetS及其组分的患病率。基于完整样本，根据IDF和ATPIII标准，MetS的患病率分别为6.8%和3.5%。MetS患病率随BMI的增加而平行上升。根据IDF和ATPIII标准，肥胖者中MetS的患病率分别为55.4%和27.2%。我们关于MetS患病率（在肥胖军人中尤其高）的观察结果与美国早些时候进行的少数研究一致。我们建议健康教育应关注那些在青年期就已显示出患心血管疾病和2型糖尿病风险升高的个体。
