Metabolic syndrome is a latent threat to the elderly, as many researches have discovered that prevalence of metabolic syndrome, which is a disease associated with risk factors of cardiovascular disease, gets higher among people with older ages. Metabolic syndrome and the practice of insufficient intake of vegetables and fruits have become important issues in the field of public health and nutrition. By introducing the negative impact of metabolic syndrome on people’s health, this research aims to enhance the public’s awareness of the importance of intake of vegetables and fruits. This research, utilizing available community resources via the intervention of nutrition education, focuses on improving subjects’ knowledge about metabolic syndrome and its relation with veg/fruit intake, in order to prompt more subjects to increase intake amount. The research was conducted on people aged at or over 65, who are able to move about on their own, between July, 2008, to March, 2009, with Taipei City’s Xinyi District being the study area and covering procedures of screening, confirming nutrition problems, establishing education model and designing courses of education intervention. Courses are combination of health belief model and social cognitive theory. The education framework is based on education theories and is simple and feasible with clear objectives. The education content emphasizes on increasing subjects’ knowledge about metabolic syndrome and intake of vegetable and fruits, as well as improving their positive attitude and practice, in the hope of allowing them to learn more about the threat of metabolic syndrome to health and prompting them to eat more vegetables and fruits. Subjects were separated into two groups: intervention group and control group, each about 20 people. This research compares intake amounts of vegetables and fruits of subjects in the intervention group before and after 4 weeks of education intervention on “knowing metabolic syndrome and increasing intake of vegetable and fruits,” and analyzes each subject’s different social and economy background and risks of getting metabolic syndrome. The results showed that subjects in the intervention group who are male, younger than 80 years old, with secondary education, and live with other people, showed a tendency of increasing the intake amounts of vegetables and fruits after the education intervention. Based on the theory of stages of change model, this research also shows that subjects at the stages of precontemplation, contemplation, and preparation, had obvious increase of aggregated amounts of veg/fruit intake. Therefore, the intervention courses have successfully helped subjects with lower intention of taking vegetables and fruits before the study to increase their intake amounts, especially that of vegetables. This research is proved to reach its objective of “effectively helping senior people in Xinyi District to increase their eating amounts of vegetables and fruits by introducing the metabolic syndrome to them.” The research performance can be references for future studies in other communities.
