N2  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS)in 259 professional automobile drivers, and to put forward targeted suggestions on protection. <br><br>METHODS: In October 2014, 114 male bus drivers and 145 male taxi drivers in a transportation service company were enrolled as investigation group, and 121 non-operating male staff were enrolled as control group. Physical examination and a questionnaire survey were conducted for both groups, and the results were analyzed. <br><br>RESULTS: The bus drivers and taxi drivers had significantly higher prevalence rates of MS than the nonoperating staff(17.5%/13.1% vs 3.3%, P<0.05). The results of univariate logistic analysis showed that smoking(OR=2.58, 95%CI 1.14~5.88), exercise (OR=0.21, 95% CI 0.10~0.43), meal time (OR=0.27, 95% CI 0.13~0.59), and a family history of chronic diseases (OR=2.26, 95% CI 1.13~4.50)were associated with MS, and each independent variable showed significant differences between groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that with age remaining the same, smoking was the risk factor for MS in professional automobile drivers (OR=5.25, 95%CI 2.00~13.80), and meal time (20~40 min)(OR= 0.20, 95%CI 0.09~0.44)and exercise (OR=0.13, 95% CI 0.06~0.30)were protective factors against MS. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Professional automobile drivers have a higher prevalence rate of MS than non-operating staff, which should be taken seriously by working personnel.<p />  <p>Language: zh</p>
