“…The similar model was found in metabolic syndrome in Japanese and Chinese men [30,33], as well as cirrhosis in middle-aged women [34], although alcohol consumption exceeded the range of moderate drinking. As compared with nonsmokers, male smokers tend to exercise less regularly, drink more alcohol, consume more salty foods, and eat more quickly.…”

“…For example, not smoking, restriction of alcohol consumption, regular exercise, and a healthy diet have been associated with lower odds of MetS risk factors in adults from Japan (Katano et al., ) and the Netherlands (Slagter et al., ). In contrast, unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary behavior, long (>9 hr) sleep have been associated with MetS in China (Yu et al., ) and Portugal (Santos, Ebrahim, & Barros, ). In Taiwan, chewing betel quid (a special kind of nut in Asian countries) (Guo et al., ) and unhealthy dietary patterns have also been associated with MetS.…”
