Outline of Final Research Achievements

We investigated the relationships of nutrient intakes and food consumption structure to metabolic syndrome (MetS). 1）In the cross-sectional study, MetS risks increased in the persons of confectionery factor , and of rice, alcoholic factor. The side dish factor was not associated with a risk of MetS. Also, coffee intake presented with reduced risk of significant MetS in “4 cups or more /day” for “none/rarely”. Also, there was significant association between GI and MetS for lowest vs. highest quintiles of GI. 2) In the prospective cohort study, risk of the MetS decreased in the persons of the snack (fruit) factor.
