Abstract: Aims: To investigate the association of anthropometric indices, nutritional habits, and lifestyle factors with MetS (MetS) in elderly. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 652 elderly residing in two communes of Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province, from September 2020 to October 2021. Multivariable logistic regression was applied to investigate the association. Results: The strongest associated factors with MetS were increased total cholesterol (OR=25.6, p=0.001), smoking >10 cigarettes/day (OR=4.30, p=0.005), frequent consumption of salty foods (OR=3.20, p=0.012), and dyslipidemia (OR=2.45, p=0.01). The moderately associated factors were found to be smoking >10 years (OR=2.05, p=0.02), consumption of animal fat (OR=1.95, p=0.022), diabetes (OR=1.95, p=0.025). Inactive physical activity, consumption of sweets/sugar, consumption of animal organs, increased blood pressure, and other lipid profile were also factors associated with MetS (OR=1.10-1,85). Conclusion: There is a significant association of anthropometric indices, lipid profile, and dietary habits with MetS among the elderly.
