“…31 Maladaptive coping behaviours and physical inactivity mediate metabolic syndrome in white-collar workers. 32 A study on Japanese male white-collar workers who worked long hours showed that key maladaptive lifestyle factors included reduced hours of sleep and a lack of physical activity. 33 In recent years, with insurance coverage of medications for ischaemic heart disease and cerebrovascular disease medications, the mortality for these diseases has decreased.…”

Objective We aimed to analyse age‐standardised mortality trends in Japan among blue‐ and white‐collar male workers aged 25‐64 years, by major causes of mortality from 1980 to 2015. Methods Five‐yearly mortality data were extracted from occupation‐specific vital statistics maintained by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. A time series study was conducted among employed men aged 25‐64 years. Age‐standardised mortality trends by occupational category were calculated separately for all cancers, ischaemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease and suicide. Poisson regression analysis was performed to analyse mortality trends by occupational category for each cause. Results Mortality rates for all cancers and ischaemic heart disease were higher among white‐collar workers than blue‐collar workers throughout the 35‐year study period. The gap in the mortality rates for all four causes of death among blue‐ and white‐collar workers widened in 2000 after Japan's economic bubble burst in the late 1990s. Simultaneously, suicide mortality rates among white‐collar workers increased sharply and have remained higher than among blue‐collar workers. Conclusions White‐collar male workers in Japan have a higher risk of mortality than male blue‐collar workers. However, despite substantial differences, significant progress has been made in recent years in reducing mortality across all occupations in Japan.

“…Furthermore, moderate and intense physical activity improves cardiovascular health and reduces the risk factor for metabolic syndrome [28][29][30][31][32]. According to the KNHANES in 2016, it has been reported that the level of physical activity in adults has been continuously decreasing in Korea over the past decade [33].…”

Metabolic syndrome and allergic rhinitis are two important chronic diseases that affect people all over the world. Metabolic syndrome very often induces other diseases and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis is currently increasing. Aging is known to affect the pathogenesis of various diseases such as metabolic syndrome and allergy. This study examined the effects of metabolic syndrome and the prevalence of allergic rhinitis depending on different age groups and several general characteristics. This study was conducted by using the data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th-1 (2007∼2016). The data used for this study was obtained from 51,854 people. In all age groups, our studies have shown that people without metabolic syndrome have a higher prevalence of allergic rhinitis than those people with metabolic syndrome, and the younger age group had the higher prevalence of allergic rhinitis (P＜0.05). Overall, the results of this study found a significant effect on the prevalence of allergic rhinitis in each category of age, general characteristics (physical activity, smoking and drinking) and the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome (P＜0.05). The evidence found in this study will help to understand the correlation between metabolic syndrome and allergy, and specifically allergic rhinitis.

“…Recent studies revealed that factors defining MetS are almost always associated with unhealthy lifestyles ( Lin et al, 2019 ), unhealthy diet ( Suliga et al, 2015 ), and low levels of physical activity ( Ko et al, 2016 ) associated with poor physical fitness ( Turi et al, 2016 ).…”

There is a continuous worldwide increase in incidences of metabolic syndrome (MetS) reaching about a quarter of the world’s population. Thus, studies that allow for a robust diagnosis of MetS are of paramount importance from an economic and medical point of view. This study was carried out in a group of men diagnosed with MetS using consensus definition criteria that included the definitions of the International Diabetes Foundation and Diabetes Federation and the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. The control group consisted of men for whom the parameters that define the MetS were in the norm. This study analyzed statistical differences between MetS and healthy men and the correlations between the set of 14 potential markers of MetS, that is, between body mass index, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, cortisol, adiponectin, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1), C-reactive protein (CRP), adipsin, leptin, resistin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI)-1. This report revealed a significant difference between MetS and healthy men in most of the parameters studied. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation between cortisol levels and body mass index was demonstrated. Furthermore, MCP-1 levels in men with MetS were significantly higher than their levels in healthy men. Finally, a strong positive correlation was also observed between adiponectin and adipsin in Mets men. Thus, this study reveals the potential usefulness of adiponectin, MCP-1, adipsin, leptin, resistin, and PAI-1 as markers of MetS in adult men.
