Methods Collecting and analyzing the data of 526 employees in Shanghai Free Trade Zone companies by means of stratified-cluster sampling, who taken health examination from January 2006 to December 2007. All subjects were divided into active lifestyle A group (ALAG), active lifestyle B group (ALBG) and sedentary lifestyle group (SLG) based on their lifestyle surveys and physical activity questionnaires (PAQ). A variety of clinical in- dex and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome components were compared among the groups with different active lifestyles, as well as the relative risk of active lifestyle on MS. Results Body mass index (BMI), Waist-hip-ratio (WHR), blood pressure (SBP/DBP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and blood lipids (TG, TC, HDL-C) in the two active lifestyle groups (22.83?2.29) kg/m2, 0.862?0.037, (119.78?12.78)/(78.03?9.91) mm Hg, (4.82?0.78) mmol/L, (1.11?0.60) mmol/L, (4.44?0.78) mmol/L, (1.41?0.41) mmol/L and (24.43?2.32) kg /m2, 0.899?0.039, (127.16?15.64) /(81.63?9.12) mmHg, (1.51?0.84) mmol/L, (4.70?0.88) mmol/L, (1.35?0.47) mmol/L, (4.96?0.75) mmol/L) were significantly lower than those in SLG (all P0.05). Active lifestyle was a protective factor for MS with OR values as 0.154 (95%CI: 0.080～0.298) in ALAG; 0.609 (95%CI: 0.367～0.990) in ALBG, respectively. Conclusion Active lifestyle was a significant protective factor for MS.
