Significant differences were also existed in triglyceride and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between subjects with higher and lower education level ( P<0. 05 ). In single-factor or multivariate analysis, education level was negatively correlated with the prevalence of MS (P<0. 05 ). Conclusions Education level may be an independent risk factor of MS.
