  RESULTS
  The metabolic syndrome was significantly related with stroke( OR = 5.998,95% C14.799 - 7.496) in univariate logistic analysis, after being adjusted for age, sex, area, education, physical activity smoking and drinking, the relationship still exists between the metabolic syndrome and stroke( OR = 3.114,95 % CI ,2.432 - 3.987) . Among the component conditions, hypertension was the most leading factor associated with stroke. And individual with more components has more possibility to be affiliated with stroke (P < 0.0001).
