Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics of MetS in northwest China.
Three thousand and one adults were included (1,915 females, 1,086 males). The prevalence of MetS analysis was stratified according to gender, age and the region of residence.
MetS prevalence in females and males was 49.7 ± 9.8% and 32.0 ± 9.0%, respectively ( < 0.001). MetS prevalence in females increased with age and was greater in rural ( = 217) females (53.6%) compared to urban ( = 754) (45.5%) or suburban ( = 818) females (52.0%) ( = 0.003). Regression analysis revealed that rural region, age, half-meat and half-vegetable dietary style, never dieted, weight increase in the previous year and a family history of high blood pressure were independent risk factors for the development of MetS, particularly in women aged ≥50 years.
MetS prevalence in women was greater than for men, increased with age and occurred more frequently in rural compared to urban and suburban females.
代谢综合征（MetS）是2型糖尿病和心血管疾病的重要危险因素。本研究旨在确定中国西北地区代谢综合征的特征。
纳入3001名成年人（1915名女性，1086名男性）。根据性别、年龄和居住地区对代谢综合征分析的患病率进行分层。
女性和男性的代谢综合征患病率分别为49.7±9.8%和32.0±9.0%（<0.001）。女性的代谢综合征患病率随年龄增加，农村（=217）女性（53.6%）高于城市（=754）（45.5%）或郊区（=818）女性（52.0%）（=0.003）。回归分析显示，农村地区、年龄、半肉半素饮食方式、从未节食、上一年体重增加以及高血压家族史是代谢综合征发生的独立危险因素，尤其是在≥50岁的女性中。
女性的代谢综合征患病率高于男性，并随年龄增加，且农村女性比城市和郊区女性更常见。
