TL;DR: Across four types of workers, the relationships between PA domains and MetS were different, and higher-intensity levels in occupation domains were significantly associated with lower risk of MetS.

Abstract: Objective:This study aimed to investigate the relationship between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and physical activity (PA) in different domains among male coal miners of Shanxi Province in China.Method:The study was conducted from July 2013 to December 2013. A two-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used. Data regarding the general information of participants were collected by well-trained interviewers. MetS was defined according to IDF criteria. Self-reported PA was obtained with the IPAQ and categorized into three tertiles of intensity levels across occupation, transportation, household, and leisure-time domains. Univariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were applied to compute the odds ratios and their 95% confidence interval (CI).Results:A total of 3076 males aged 18–65 years old were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The prevalence of MetS was 40.5% in the study subjects. The percentages of vigorous-intensity PA in MetS and non-MetS groups were 70.07% and 62.92%, respectively....

TL;DR: The environment, including an obesogenic environment and exposure to environmental toxins, is strongly correlated with the rising prevalence of obesity and its comorbidities and Behavioral factors, such as diet, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and sleep patterns significantly influence the risk of metabolic diseases throughout aging.

The effect of metformin and intensive lifestyle intervention on the metabolic syndrome: the Diabetes Prevention Program randomized trial.[summary for patients in Ann Intern Med. 2005 Apr 19;142(8):I46; PMID: 15838061]
TL;DR: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome at baseline in the trial population is addressed and how this varies by age and sex and whether the 2 interventions reduced the incidence of new cases of the metabolism syndrome or increased resolution of existing cases compared with placebo is addressed.

Health benefits of physical activity: the evidence
TL;DR: It is revealed that the current Health Canada physical activity guidelines are sufficient to elicit health benefits, especially in previously sedentary people, and that a further increase in physical activity and fitness will lead to additional improvements in health status.

TL;DR: It is increasingly recognized that office measurements correlate poorly with blood pressure measured in other settings, and that they can be supplemented by self-measured readings taken with validated devices at home, which gives a better prediction of risk than office measurements and is useful for diagnosing white-coat hypertension.
The metabolic syndrome: prevalence in worldwide populations
TL;DR: Differences in genetic background, diet,levels of physical activity, population age and sex structure, levels of over- and undernutrition, and body habitus all influence the prevalence of both the metabolic syndrome and its components.
