Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is the critical risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease which attributed to the number one cause of death worldwide. Prevalence of MS varied according to races geographies and jobs. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of MS and its associated factors among healthcare workers in Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai. This is cross-sectional study conducted during annual health checkup (March - June 2013). Data were collected from 3209 participants by using questionnaires, physical examination and annual health blood examination. The result showed a significantly prevalence of MS in male (26.5%) was higher than female (13.7%) (P<0.001). Associated factors for increasing the prevalence of MS were aging, increasing of BMI, having hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia as underlying disease. The prevalence of MS was 9.2% in participants who under 35 years of age but the prevalence increased to 26% in those who over 50 years old (P<0.001).There was 60.6% of healthcare workers who had BMI over 30 kg/m2 had MS. The prevalence of MS was highest among workers and patient helpers which was 23.2% (OR 2.6, 95% CI 2.0-3.3 compared to nurse). In conclusion, the prevalence of MS was high in any occupation among healthcare workers especially for workers, patient helper and aid nurses. The author suggests that there should be some interventions for prevention and treatment MS among healthcare worker in order to prevent adverse cardiovascular event in the future.
