Abstract
Background: The effect of dietary protein intake on the risk of newly-onset metabolic syndrome remains unclear.
Methods: We obtained data from the health promotion center of a university hospital between 2007 and 2014 (7 years). The study population included 1,627 healthy adults without a diagnosis of hypertension, diabetes, or hyperlipidemia at their first visit. Dietary protein intake was obtained from a 1-day food record and quantified by using the low-carbohydrate, high protein score. We performed multivariate analysis to investigate the association between dietary protein intake and new-onset metabolic syndrome.
Results: During follow-up, with a median period of 20.7 months, we found 158 cases (9.7%) of metabolic syndrome confirmed by self-reported questionnaires data and blood test results. Dietary protein intake had no significant association with new-onset metabolic syndrome.
Conclusion: Dietary protein intake had no significant association with new-onset metabolic syndrome.
