![]() Conclusions: The current findings suggest that a multifaceted intervention targeting at promotion of physical activity and CRF in concert with healthy eating behaviors should be implemented as a preventive strategy against Mets in Korean university students. Logistic regression analysis showed that the odds ratio (OR) of Mets was incremental in the order of physical inactivity (odds ratio, OR = 1.666 95% confidence interval, CI = 1.024–2.708 p = 0.040), fast eating (OR = 1.687 95% CI = 1.094–2.601 p = 0.018), and poor CRF (OR = 5.378 95% CI = 3.475–8.325 p < 0.001). ![]() Results: All the three exposures were positively associated with abdominal obesity, elevated blood pressures, elevated FBG, elevated TG, and decreased HDLC. Components of Mets were waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglycerides (TG), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC). Maximal oxygen uptake as an indicator of CRF was assessed with graded exercise testing. ![]() inactive) were assessed with a standardized questionnaire. Objectives: This study examined the association between the three risk factors and Mets in 1891 Korean university students (30% female) aged 18–29 years. Background: Little is known regarding the role of eating quickly, physical inactivity, and poor cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in assessing the onset of metabolic syndrome (Mets) in Korean young adults.
