OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study is to find out the correlation with the risk of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients using KNHNES data. METHODS The raw data from the 1st to 3rd years of the 8th National Health and Nutrition Survey (KNHANES) were used, and 290 stroke patients aged 60 or older (109 in 2019, 89 in 2020, 92 in 2021) were selected out of 22.559 participants. The average and standard deviation of the subjects' general characteristics were presented, the risk of stroke patients and metabolic syndrome and related variables were analyzed through Pearson’s correlation analysis(p<.05). RESULTS Men's fasting blood glucose was correlated with triglycerides (r=.175, p<.05), and HDL cholesterol was correlated with triglycerides (r=.-266, p<.05). Women's waist circumference was correlated with blood glucose (r=.321, p<.001), hypertension (r=.195, p<.05), and HDL cholesterol (r=.-205, p<.001). Fasting blood glucose was correlated with HDL cholesterol (r=.-265, p<.001) and triglyceride (r=.340, p<.001). HDL cholesterol was correlated with triglycerides (r=.-332, p<.001) and hypertension (r=.-195, p<.05). CONCLUSIONS In summary, the major independent factors for the risk of metabolic syndrome in stroke patients were triglyceride in men and fasting blood glucose and hypertension in women.
