In 2005, the diagnostic criterion for Japan-specific metabolic syndrome was published. Cross-sectional study of preventing metabolic syndrome by practicing these six healthy habits. 18,139 Japanese who visited the Health Science Center at Jikei University Hospital in Japan for medical check-ups. Participants completed a simple, self-administered questionnaire on the lifestyle with these mottos. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed with the above criterion. The mean number of practicing six healthy habits was 3.4 ± 1.3 in the subjects with metabolic syndrome, which was significantly lower than that (3.7 ± 1.3) in the subjects without metabolic syndrome. The prevalence of metabolic decreased significantly in relation to the number of healthy habits practiced (20.9% for none, 17.4% for one, 15.0% for two, 13.1% for three, 10.5% for four, 8.4% for five, and 7.2% for six) (p < 0.001).
