BackgroundWith the increasing burden of metabolic syndrome, it is crucial to focus on lifestyle interventions to reduce the risk. Diet is a modifiable factor that can reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. MethodsWe examined the association between the dietary diversity score (DDS) and risk of metabolic syndrome using baseline data from the Japan Multi-Institutional Collaborative Cohort (J-MICC) study. In total, 75,332 participants were included in this study. A multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the association between the DDS and metabolic syndrome. ResultsInverse associations were observed between a high DDS and metabolic syndrome (adjusted odds ratio, 0.83 [95% confidential interval 0.76-0.92]). Likewise, a high DDS was associated with reduced odds of a high body mass index and hypertension. No significant associations were observed between the DDS and serum triglyceride, fasting blood glucose, or high-density lipoprotein cholesterol values. ConclusionTo reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, public health interventions should focus on promoting a diverse and balanced diet.
