Abstract

<p>In the present study, participants of male-specific health check-ups in the fiscal year 2008 were reclassified into three groups based on the examination results : 1) Group N consisted of those with no cardiovascular disease-related risks in the current “information provision” group, 2) Group R consisted of those with at least one risk in the current “information provision” group, and 3) Group S consisted of those who received “motivational support” and “active support.” The presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) was compared 5 years later among the three groups. This study aimed to examine the necessity for intervention in men at risk of cardiovascular diseases in the current “information provision” group. As a result of our analysis of the reconfigured guidance classification, we found that the current classification of the guidance category requiring abdominal obesity was valid. However, in the presence of at least one risk associated with cardiovascular diseases, the risk of MetS onset was significantly increased compared with individuals without any cardiovascular disease-related risks. Thus, it is clear that the “information provision” group of the current specific health guidance classification includes individuals who should be given priority guidance. Therefore, it is recommended that individuals at risk of cardiovascular diseases in the “information provision” group require interventions such as health guidance to prevent MetS.</p>
