Obesity, especially when concentrated in the abdominal area, is often associated with the presence of metabolic syndrome. Stress, particularly occupational stress, is one of the most important factors contributing to the increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome components among different populations. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity as well as the criteria for metabolic syndrome and its risk factors and different obesity phenotype in a population of military personnel aged 20 to 65 years. This study is a retrospective cross-sectional study in which data are extracted from the database of a military hospital (2,200 participants). The records of participants contained information such as age, marital status, educational level, weight, height, body mass index, blood pressure, waist circumference, history of drug use and smoking, as well as the results of tests including lipid profile and fasting blood glucose. The Adult Treatment Panel III criteria as well as two national criteria were used to identify metabolic syndrome among participants. Data analysis was p1erformed using SPSS version 16. The average age of participants was 33.37 (7.75) years. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to Iranian cutoff was 26.6% for the waist circumference >90 cm (585 persons) and 19.6% for the waist circumference >95 cm (432 persons). The rate of metabolic syndrome was identified as 11.1% (432 cases) according to Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Results of the current study identified that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among military individuals is less than other populations, but the prevalence of the syndrome is higher than other military personnel in other countries.
肥胖，尤其是集中在腹部的肥胖，往往与代谢综合征的存在有关。压力，特别是职业压力，是导致不同人群中代谢综合征各组成部分患病率增加的最重要因素之一。本研究旨在调查20至65岁军事人员群体中超重和肥胖的患病率、代谢综合征的标准及其危险因素以及不同的肥胖表型。本研究是一项回顾性横断面研究，数据从一家军队医院的数据库中提取（2200名参与者）。参与者的记录包含年龄、婚姻状况、教育水平、体重、身高、体重指数、血压、腰围、用药和吸烟史，以及包括血脂谱和空腹血糖在内的检测结果。采用成人治疗小组第三次报告标准以及两项国家标准来确定参与者中的代谢综合征。使用SPSS 16版进行数据分析。参与者的平均年龄为33.37（7.75）岁。根据伊朗的临界值，腰围>90厘米时代谢综合征的患病率为26.6%（585人），腰围>95厘米时为19.6%（432人）。根据成人治疗小组第三次报告标准，代谢综合征的发生率为11.1%（432例）。本研究结果表明，军事人员中代谢综合征的患病率低于其他人群，但该综合征的患病率高于其他国家的军事人员。
