Prior research has shown that unhealthy lifestyles increase the risk for developing a number of chronic diseases, but there are few studies examining how lifestyle changes impact metabolic syndrome. This study analyzed the association between two-year changes in key lifestyle risk metrics and incident metabolic syndrome in adults. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from metabolic syndrome free adults in the Heart of New Ulm Project (New Ulm, MN). The outcome was incident metabolic syndrome observed two years after baseline in 2009. The primary predictor was change in optimal lifestyle score based on four behavioral risk factors, including smoking, alcohol use, fruit\/vegetable consumption, and physical activity. In the analytical sample of 1059 adults, 12% developed metabolic syndrome by 2011. Multivariable regression models (adjusted for baseline lifestyle score, age, sex, education, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes) revealed that a two-year decrease in optimal lifestyle score was associated with significantly greater odds of incident metabolic syndrome (OR = 2.92; 95% CI: 1.69, 5.04; p < 0.001). This association was primarily driven by changes in obesity, fruit\/vegetable consumption, and alcohol intake. As compared to improving poor lifestyle habits, maintaining a healthy lifestyle seemed to be most helpful in avoiding metabolic syndrome over the two-year study timeframe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-13505","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation, 1000 North Oak Ave, Marshfield, WI 54449, USA. vanwormer.jeffrey@mcrf.mfldclin.edu","annee":"2017","mois":"3","numero":"6:","page":"242-245","auteurs":[{"ID":1229,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 15:57:30","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 14:57:30","post_content":"","post_title":"Abbey C Sidebottom","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"abbey-c-sidebottom","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 15:57:30","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 14:57:30","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/abbey-c-sidebottom\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":1230,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 15:57:31","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 14:57:31","post_content":"","post_title":"Jackie L Boucher","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jackie-l-boucher","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 15:57:31","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 14:57:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/jackie-l-boucher\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13503,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:58:57","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:58:57","post_content":"","post_title":"Jeffrey J VanWormer","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"jeffrey-j-vanwormer","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:58:57","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:58:57","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/jeffrey-j-vanwormer\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8725,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:03:22","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:03:22","post_content":"","post_title":"Arthur Sillah","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"arthur-sillah","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:03:22","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:03:22","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/arthur-sillah\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13504,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 18:58:58","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:58:58","post_content":"","post_title":"Thomas Knickelbine","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"thomas-knickelbine","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 18:58:58","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 17:58:58","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/thomas-knickelbine\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":3699,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:08:18","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:08:18","post_content":"","post_title":"Preventive medicine reports","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"preventive-medicine-reports","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:08:18","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:08:18","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/preventive-medicine-reports\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
