Too much fat, salt and sugar, sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise lead to obesity and metabolic syndromes. PURPOSES: This research is about the relation between health promotion lifestyle of employees and the risk factors of metabolic syndrome, and we expect to improve people’s lifestyle in order to achieve better metabolic conditions. METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study including subject of employees in one cooperation in Taipei. questionnaire such as Chinese Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile; HPLP and combination with health examination were used to run the analysis and to describe and estimate the correlations. RESULTS: 1. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is 16.7%. 2. The average score of general health promoting lifestyle among the subjects is 2.77 (1 to 4), the index of full scale is 69.29 (45 to 95) ; among the subscales, nutrition takes the highest score (83.48), while exercise has the lowest score (55.98). 3.The higher age, more senior, and higher rank of position, the better health promoting lifestyle they have.4. Among 300 subjects, there are 56.4% of them (169 paticipants), are overweight or obese based on body mass index (BMI); the number of people who have risk factors for metabolic syndrome is 71.7% (215 paticipants) of the group. Risk factors are blood pressure (40.7), waistline (32.3%), GLU-AC (23.7%), triglycerides (21.7%), and HDL(17.3%) respectively. 5. After considering gender, position and BMI three variables and processing multiple regression analysis, BMI is related to metabolic syndrome (p<0.05). After we adjust the effect of gender and occupation rank, BMI increases in one point, the risk of metabolic syndroms increases 30%. The predictive power is 77.7% which is statistically significant. CONCLUSION: Workplace sitting lifestyle leads to lack of exercise and results in high body mass index which causes by overweight and obesity. This study is to investigate the metabolic syndrome risk factors in the workplace and to make employees pay more attention to health. We hope to have a sound weight management program, with the exercise program, not only to lose weight, but effective prevention of chronic disease and metabolic syndrome.
