MetS was defined by modified Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) criteria.Results: The overall prevalence of MetS was 20.85% [Sex: 20.06% female, 21.56% male; Age: 39.22% 60-years and above, 26.32% 40- to 59-years and 9.56% 18- to 39-years; Ethnicity: 28.19% Hui followed by Han (26.39%), Uyghur (18.56%), Other (18.61%), Kazak (17.98%), Mongolian (17.87%), Kyrgyz (14.44%)]. People living in cities and towns (23.03%) or North (24.78%) had higher prevalence of MetS than rural (19.94%) and South (17.66%). Although the prevalence of hypertension, smoking, drinking and lack of physical activity were higher in Kyrgyz, Mongolian and Kazak than those of other ethnic groups, the risk of MetS was lower.Conclusion: The results indicated that a high prevalence of MetS in Hui and Han groups and people living in cities and towns. Living in North Xinjiang and elder population tend to have higher prevalence of MetS. The prevention and management of MetS in these populations should be prioritized.Keywords: metabolic syndrome; MetS, Chinese, ethnic groups, adults, prevalence
