Abstract
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to explore lifestyle factors in relation to metabolic syndrome so as
to be able to utilize the results as baseline data for the furtherance of health-care and medical treatment. [Subjects
and Methods] This study was conducted with patients who visited a health care center located in Seoul and had
abdominal ultrasonography between 2 March 2013 and 28 February, 2014. Heights, weights, and blood pressures
were measured by automatic devices. Three radiologists examined the patients using abdominal ultrasonography
for gallstone diagnosis. The statuses of patients with regard to smoking, alcohol, coffee, and physical activities were
explored for the lifestyle investigation. For investigating baseline demographics, we first used descriptive statistics.
We then used the χ2 test to analyze lifestyles and gallstone prevalence with regard to the presence of metabolic
syndrome. Lastly, logistic regression analysis was conducted to discover the risk factors of metabolic syndrome.
[Results] For men, body mass index, maximum gallstone size, and waist circumference were revealed as risk factors
for metabolic syndrome, in descending order of the degree of risk. For females, gallstone presence was the most
significant risk factor, followed by waist circumference. [Conclusion] Metabolic disease mainly presents itself along
with obesity, and we should become more focused on preventing and treating this disease. A large-scale prospective
study is needed in the future, as the cause of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis remained unclear in this study.
