Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is defined as a cluster of metabolic alterations such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidemias, elevated fasting glucose, and hypertension. Studies on the association between egg consumption and MetS are limited and inconsistent. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted to examine the association of egg consumption with MetS among Korean adults aged 40-69 years. A total of 130,420 subjects (43,682 men and 86,738 women) from the Health Examinees Study were selected for the final analysis. Egg consumption was estimated using a validated 106-item food frequency questionnaire. MetS was defined using the National Cholesterol Education Program, Adult Treatment Panel III. Logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the association of egg consumption with MetS via odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) after adjusting for potential variables. Among 130,420 subjects, 34,039 (26.1%) people had MetS. Consumption of more than 7 eggs/week was associated with a lower odds of MetS risk compared to those who consumed less than one egg/week in women (OR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.70-0.84, trend < 0.0001). Higher egg consumption was inversely associated with the MetS components: elevated waist circumference (OR: 0.80, 0.75-0.86), elevated triglyceride (OR: 0.78, 0.72-0.85), reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (OR: 0.82, 0.77-0.88), elevated blood pressure (OR: 0.86, 0.80-0.92), and elevated fasting glucose (OR: 0.94, 0.83-0.99) in women; reduced HDL-C (OR: 0.89, 0.80-1.00) in men. Our results suggest that higher egg consumption may be associated with a reduction in the odds for MetS and all five metabolic components in women, and the risk of reduced HDL-C in men.
代谢综合征（MetS）被定义为一系列代谢改变，如腹部肥胖、血脂异常、空腹血糖升高和高血压。关于鸡蛋消费与代谢综合征之间关联的研究有限且结果不一致。进行了一项横断面分析，以研究40至69岁韩国成年人中鸡蛋消费与代谢综合征的关联。最终分析选取了健康检查者研究中的130420名受试者（43682名男性和86738名女性）。使用经过验证的106项食物频率问卷估算鸡蛋消费量。代谢综合征采用美国国家胆固醇教育计划成人治疗小组第三次报告的定义。在调整潜在变量后，通过比值比（OR）和95%置信区间（CI）进行逻辑回归分析，以确定鸡蛋消费与代谢综合征的关联。在130420名受试者中，34039人（26.1%）患有代谢综合征。与每周食用少于1个鸡蛋的女性相比，每周食用超过7个鸡蛋的女性患代谢综合征风险的几率较低（OR：0.77，95%CI：0.70 - 0.84，趋势<0.0001）。较高的鸡蛋消费量与代谢综合征各组分呈负相关：女性腰围升高（OR：0.80，0.75 - 0.86）、甘油三酯升高（OR：0.78，0.72 - 0.85）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（HDL - C）降低（OR：0.82，0.77 - 0.88）、血压升高（OR：0.86，0.80 - 0.92）和空腹血糖升高（OR：0.94，0.83 - 0.99）；男性HDL - C降低（OR：0.89，0.80 - 1.00）。我们的结果表明，较高的鸡蛋消费量可能与女性代谢综合征及所有五个代谢组分患病几率的降低以及男性HDL - C降低的风险有关。
