Over 45 years of age were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 2.35 times (95% CI: 1.27-4.33) more than lower than 45 years. Underlying diseases were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 5.65 times (95% CI: 3.05-10.45) more than absence of underlying diseases. Smoking were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 2.24 times (95% CI:1.05-4.78) more than non-smoking. Alcohols drinking were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome1.93times(95%CI:1.11-3.37)more than non-alcohols drinking. Exercise frequency lower than 3 day were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 0.45 times (95% CI: 0.26-0.78) more than exercise frequency over 3 day. The factors related to the metabolic syndrome by using the multiple logistic regressions were gender, disease and exercise frequency (p<0.05). Male were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 0.39 times (95% CI: 0.19-0.95) more than female. Underlying diseases were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 0.20 times (95% CI: 0.10-0.39) more than absence of underlying diseases. Exercise frequency lower than 3 day were found to at risk of metabolic syndrome 1.34 times (95% CI: 0.70-2.55) more than exercise frequency over 3 day.
