Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a cluster of risk factors for atherosclerosis and is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The role of diet in the etiology of MetS is poorly understood, especially among Asian subjects. This cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between diet and the number of MetS components among Japanese men (n=609) and women (n=631). Mean (s.d.) age and body mass index were 57.1 (12.1) years and 22.8 (2.8) kg m(-2) for men and 55.5 (12.0) years and 22.0 (3.0) kg m(-2) for women, respectively. Diet was assessed by a 3-day dietary record that included photographs: 16 nutrients, 11 food groups, and energy % of protein and dietary fat were selected as a dietary index. The definition of MetS was based on modified National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, and the number of clustering MetS components was calculated by adding the presence of each five MetS components. A total of 61 men (10.0%) and 46 women (7.3%) were determined to have MetS. After adjusting for age, energy intake, alcohol intake, smoking status and physical activity, a lower intake of vitamin B6 and dietary fiber in men, and lower intake of calcium, milk and dairy products and higher intake of cereal in women were related to the number of MetS components. These results suggest that some dietary factors were related to the number of MetS components among community-dwelling Japanese men and women.
代谢综合征（MetS）代表了动脉粥样硬化的一系列危险因素，被认为是心血管疾病的危险因素。饮食在 MetS 发病机制中的作用尚不清楚，尤其是在亚洲人群中。本横断面研究评估了饮食与日本男性（n=609）和女性（n=631）MetS 成分数量之间的关系。男性的平均（s.d.）年龄和体重指数分别为 57.1（12.1）岁和 22.8（2.8）kg/m2，女性分别为 55.5（12.0）岁和 22.0（3.0）kg/m2。饮食通过 3 天饮食记录评估，包括照片：16 种营养素、11 种食物组和蛋白质及膳食脂肪的能量%被选为饮食指数。MetS 的定义基于改良的国家胆固醇教育计划、成人治疗专家组 III 标准，通过添加每个五个 MetS 成分的存在来计算 MetS 成分的数量。共有 61 名男性（10.0%）和 46 名女性（7.3%）被确定患有 MetS。在调整年龄、能量摄入、酒精摄入、吸烟状况和体力活动后，男性维生素 B6 和膳食纤维摄入较低，女性钙、牛奶和乳制品摄入较低，谷物摄入较高与 MetS 成分数量有关。这些结果表明，一些饮食因素与日本社区居民中男性和女性的 MetS 成分数量有关。
