title: [Study on the relationship between dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome among urban residents in Zhejiang province].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To analyze the relationship between dietary patterns and metabolic syndrome in urban residents in Zhejiang Province.
  
  
  METHODS
  We undertook a cross-sectional survey based on the data from "China National Nutrition and Health Status Monitoring". Factor analysis was used to identify food patterns based on the frequency of food and unconditional logistic regression model was used to estimate adjusted odd ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) between MS including its components and dietary patterns.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Three evident dietary patterns were derived by factor analysis in these 2116 participants including "animal food pattern" (35.68%), "plant food pattern" (31.00%) and "sea food pattern" (33.32%). Increased risks of abdominal obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension, hyperglycemia and MS were associated with animal food pattern, while plant food pattern play an important role to prevent against lowing HDL cholesterol. An inversed association with the risks of abdominal obesity, low HDL cholesterol and hypertension were seen in the pattern of sea food.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The relationship between three kinds of dietary pattern and MS was complicated and characteristic, so it's not appropriate to emphasize some kind of food pattern or certain food, varieties of food will help to reduce the risk of MS and its components.
