The purpose of this study is to body mass index and examine risk factors of metabolic syndrome in university freshmen. A cross-sectional design was used to investigate 1096 university freshmen. Who participated in the health examination of 95 and 96 academic years in integrated screening test. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was based on definitions issued by Bureau of Health Promotion, Department of Health in 2004. Data were analyzed using by descriptive statistics, chi-square test and the percentage. The criterion for significance for all comparisons was p<.001. Results: 1. Of all the risk factors for metabolic syndrome, the abnormal fasting blood pressure and with metabolic syndrome levels 96 academic less than 95 academic, Other triglycerides, total cholesterol, GOT, GPT, BUN and UA risk factor for abnormal value, levels 96 academic higher than 95.2. The of BMI standards and classification of the metabolic syndrome risk factors, triglycerides, blood pressure, sugar, cholesterol, uric acid, GOT, GPT values were statistically significant differences (p<.001). A higher percentage of overweight triglycerides, sugar and uric acid value of the abnormal ratio are higher than normal and obesity is sugar level in the ratio of higher than normal with metabolic syndrome. 3. The metabolic syndrome and the relationship between variables, women diagnosed with than of men, showed significant improvement of (p<.001). The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, blood pressure, sugar and total cholesterol, showed significant improvement of (p<.001). Conclusion: The health examination by the understanding of overweight and obesity, showed the of 28.5%, metabolic syndrome-related diseases showed the of 31.9%. The obesity and metabolic syndrome related diseases for the college student's health problem, school administrative, can not be ignored.
