The entry criteria for MS is complied from codespromulgated by the Ministry of Health of P.R.C. in2007. Cases were investigated withquestionnaires, anthropometric and biochemical tests.

The expression levels of indexes were analyzed between MS and non-MS groups;Making a comparison of prevalence between different age groups and different gendergroups; Investigating the relationship between the prevalenceand age, gender and others;Summarizing risk factors of MS.3. For continuous variables, descriptive results were presented as mean±SD.Comparisons were made using the t test for data that followed normal distribution. Rateswere compared with chi-square test. Data is entered into the computer using Epidata3.0.All analyses were performed with the SPSS17.0statistical software package. All testswere two-sides and P value less than0.05was considered as statistical significance.Result1. The MS detection rate was20.8%in employees of Yanchang oil field,16.7%weremale and24.1%were female. 2. In the aged53～and aged64～groups, the morbidity of MS were significantlyhigher than other age groups (P<0.05). Moreover, the prevalence rate of MS wasincreased with the increasing of the age in both males and female. Women wassignificantly higher than men in the prevalence rate of MS, especially women over theage of53.3. The levels of WC、BMI、BP、GLU、TG、TC、LDL-c and HDL-C in patients withMS increased greatly. The morbidity of MS increased with increasing the levels of WC,BMI, BP, GLU, TG, TC and LDL-c. However, with the decrement of HDL-C, theprevalence rate of MS increased.4. In our study, Metabolic syndrome of employees of Yanchang oil field also ismulti-metabolic abnormalities, including obesity (79.7%), plasma glucoseabnormalities(63.1%), hypertension (50.6%), and high blood sugar (29.9%).ConclusionThe prevalence rates of MS were rather high in employees (20to74years old) ofYanchang oil field in2012.It is necessary to carry out education, prevention and controlon MS.1.
