Arab Americans have high prevalences of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and depression. Depression and external locus of control (LOC) may worsen MetS. We examined the relationship between depression and MetS with a convenience sample of 136 Arab Americans living in the Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Participants were surveyed with the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control questionnaire and the Center of Epidemiological Studies-Depression scale. Laboratory measurements were collected based on the components of MetS. A structural equation model was used to explore the relationship between MetS and depression through analysis of LOC. MetS was significantly correlated with external LOC (powerful others and chance), and depression was correlated with a weak internal LOC. Future study of the effect of LOC on health outcomes in Arab Americans may be used to mitigate MetS and depression in this population.
阿拉伯裔美国人中代谢综合征（MetS）和抑郁症的患病率较高。抑郁症和外部控制点（LOC）可能会使代谢综合征恶化。我们以居住在华盛顿特区大都市地区的136名阿拉伯裔美国人为便利样本，研究了抑郁症与代谢综合征之间的关系。参与者接受了多维健康控制点问卷和流行病学研究中心抑郁量表的调查。根据代谢综合征的组成部分收集实验室测量数据。使用结构方程模型通过分析控制点来探索代谢综合征与抑郁症之间的关系。代谢综合征与外部控制点（有影响力的他人和机遇）显著相关，而抑郁症与较弱的内部控制点相关。未来关于控制点对阿拉伯裔美国人健康结果影响的研究可能有助于减轻该人群中的代谢综合征和抑郁症。
