抄録

Objectives To investigate the effectiveness of lifestyle improvement for metabolic syndrome and stratification for specific health guidance to replace the Total Health Promotion Plan (THP) with Specific health checkup standard.
Design A case-control study.
Setting and Participants Subjects consisted of 1, 062 males and 547 females who consulted our institute for THP and were followed for one year.
Measurement and Results Logistic models that independently incorporated age, gender, and each modification including exercise, dietary, smoking and drinking habits as variables were selected. None of the modifications was able to improve subjects with metabolic syndrome and the borderline. However, implementing both exercise and dietary modifications simultaneously were approximately 3.7-fold more effective (95%CI 1.07-13.0) .
Conclusions We consider that health guidance for both exercise and dietary modifications is required to improve metabolic syndrome.
