Abstract

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome risk is a multiplex risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and defined as hypertension and abdominal obesity in this study. Objective: This study aimed to identify the association between work-family conflict and metabolic syndrome risk among workers in immigration department and their differences based on socio-demographic factors, health behaviour and working characteristics. Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted from February 2019 to May 2019 involving 254 officers (response rate = 100%) from immigration office in Putrajaya, Selangor, Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur International Airports. Data was collected through self-administered questionnaire in which WFC scales were adapted from standardized questionnaire. Result and Discussion: Most of the respondents participated in this study were 31 to 40 years old for both male and female. Blood pressure was significantly different between male and female (p=0.001) and between systolic and diastolic pressure (p=0.008). Types of physical activities, duration of exercise, types of exercise, smoking behavior, WIFt and FIWs significantly associated with metabolic syndrome risk among respondents. Conclusion: It is evident that WFC and several individual factors were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome risk among respondents. These findings suggest prompt action to reduce the chance of workers getting metabolic syndrome to ensure the healthy manpower for a long term. Keywords: Work family conflict (WFC), Metabolic Syndrome Risk, Work Influence Family (WIF), Family Influence Work (FIW)
