Study on Metabolic Syndrome Compartments and Life-style Characteristics of Male People Under 40 Years Old

Abstract

Male people under 40 years old don’t undergo specific health examinations (Japan), and are not indicated about metabolic syndrome compartments. We studied life-style characteristics of male people under 40 years old based on specific health examination questionnaire (health practice index, HPI, Breslow’s seven life-style categories). The group we adopted was some JA staff group. In this group, age distribution was uniform. Male people (30-39 years old) belonged largely to preliminary metabolic syndrome compartments and indicated low HPI. The critical problems of life-style were found in low HPI group.
