Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between occupational dysfunction and metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its component factors in community-dwelling Japanese adults (N = 1,514). The association of MetS with occupational dysfunction was demonstrated in the total number of individuals and in older individuals. It is possible to prevent MetS by early evaluation of occupational dysfunction and intervention.
