目的：為探討參與團體健康檢查之個案，其生活型態與新陳代謝症候群的相關性。 方法：採橫斷式研究設計，以中部某區域教學醫院團體健康檢查之勞工為收案對象，於健檢流程中收集個案基本屬性與生活型態的資料，並以2006年國民健康局修正之新陳代謝症候群定義為判定的標準，共計收取有效樣本547人(回收率78.1%)。 結果：547位個案中，符合新陳代謝症候群定義共有69人(12.7%)。以性別分別探討相關危險因子，邏輯複迴歸模式分析顯示，在探制年齡變項後，男性新陳代謝症候群之相關危險因子為肥胖(身體質量指數≧27)、偶爾攝取豆類與經常攝取魚類食物：女性的相關危險因子則為肥胖與停經。 結論：新陳代謝症候群的相關危險因子，會因性別及飲食習慣而有所不同。依據研究結果，建議未來預防性的健康檢查應將腹圍及高密度酯蛋白膽固醇納入常規檢測項目，醫護專業人員也雁同時詢問個案各項生活型態，衛教民眾預防肥胖、正確的飲食習慣，以減少新陳代謝症候群的發生。
