The aim of the present study was to examine the association between subjects with self-awareness of fast eating and diagnostic components of metabolic syndrome in Japanese middle-aged male and female.
Subjects consisted of 3208 males (average age 50.6 years) and 2055 females (average age 50.0 years). Associations between subjects with self-awareness of fast eating and multiple components of metabolic syndrome (waist circumference, body mass index [BMI], blood pressure, and related blood sample tests) were evaluated.
Significantly more males (57.7%) acknowledged themselves as "fast eater" than females (46.5%). Self-reported fast eaters showed significantly elevated body weight, BMI, and waist circumference in both genders. However, only male self-reported fast eaters showed high levels of blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol.
Fast eating is associated with diagnostic components of metabolic syndrome. The effect of acknowledging themselves as fast eater presents a higher impact on males than on females in the middle-aged Japanese population. The present study indicates that finding subjects with self-awareness of fast eating may lead to the prevention of developing metabolic syndrome.
本研究旨在探讨日本中年男性和女性中，有快速进食自我认知的人群与代谢综合征诊断指标之间的关联。
研究对象包括3208名男性（平均年龄50.6岁）和2055名女性（平均年龄50.0岁）。评估了有快速进食自我认知的人群与代谢综合征多个指标（腰围、体重指数[BMI]、血压及相关血液样本检测）之间的关联。
承认自己是“快速进食者”的男性（57.7%）显著多于女性（46.5%）。自我报告为快速进食者的男女，其体重、BMI和腰围均显著升高。然而，只有男性自我报告的快速进食者血压、空腹血糖、尿酸和低密度脂蛋白（LDL）胆固醇水平较高。
快速进食与代谢综合征的诊断指标相关。在日本中年人群中，自我认知为快速进食者对男性的影响比对女性更大。本研究表明，发现有快速进食自我认知的人群可能有助于预防代谢综合征的发生。
