ABSTRACT
Metabolic syndrome is a set of risk factor symptoms of cardiovascular disease and diabetes
mellitus. Risk factor symptoms are found on Officers of Tanjung Perak Port Class I Health Office,
some of them are urban society lifestyle, heterogenous workload and stress based on the
working scope, administrative and field work. This research is aimed to analyze the relation
between lifestyle, workload, and work stress with metabolic syndrome and its five indicators
(blood pressure levels, pre-prandial blood glucose levels, HDL cholesterol levels, abdominal
circumference, and triglycerides levels)
This research is an observational research with cross sectional research design. The number of
research respondents is 39 Government Employees. Lifestyle, workload, and work stress are
independent variables. The dependent variables are metabolic syndrome and its five indicators.

13.4% of respondents have metabolic syndrome. Analysis of fisher test found there is a
