To identify the sex-specific prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factors and their physiological, psychosocial, and behavioral correlates in a college-aged population. : Cross-sectional assessment of MetS risk factors and potential correlates occurred in 379 first-year students (aged 18.34 ± 0.49 years, 67.3% female). Multivariable linear regression assessed the relationships between potential correlates and continuous MetS risk scores, derived from principal component analysis. MetS risk factors were present in 58.4% of females and 68.5% of males, with 2.4% and 3.2% having defined MetS. In females, percent body fat (β = 0.46, < 0.001), stress (β = 0.12, = 0.031), % kcal from sugar (β = 0.18, = 0.001), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (β=-0.12, = 0.036) were associated with risk score. Whereas, correlates in males included percent body fat (β = 0.54, < 0.001), C-reactive protein (β = 0.15, = 0.045), and AUDIT alcohol consumption score (β = 0.15, = 0.033). The sex-specific prevalence of MetS risk factors and correlates suggest that primary prevention strategies on college campuses should also follow a sex-specific approach.
为了确定大学年龄段人群中代谢综合征（MetS）危险因素的性别特异性患病率及其生理、心理社会和行为相关性。：在 379 名一年级学生（年龄 18.34±0.49 岁，67.3%为女性）中进行了 MetS 危险因素和潜在相关性的横断面评估。多元线性回归评估了潜在相关性与来自主成分分析的连续 MetS 风险评分之间的关系。女性中有 58.4%存在 MetS 危险因素，男性中有 68.5%存在 MetS 危险因素，其中 2.4%和 3.2%分别患有明确的 MetS。在女性中，体脂百分比（β=0.46， < 0.001）、压力（β=0.12， = 0.031）、糖摄入百分比（β=0.18， = 0.001）和中高强度体力活动（β=-0.12， = 0.036）与风险评分相关。而男性的相关性包括体脂百分比（β=0.54， < 0.001）、C 反应蛋白（β=0.15， = 0.045）和 AUDIT 饮酒评分（β=0.15， = 0.033）。MetS 危险因素和相关性的性别特异性患病率表明，大学校园的一级预防策略也应采取性别特异性方法。
