AB  - OBJECTIVES: The cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the association between 
      burnout, work-related factors, and metabolic syndrome (Mets) in nurses from 
      several departments of a tertiary hospital in Taiwan. Exploring biomarkers could 
      provide for prevention. METHODS: Demographic data were obtained through a written 
      questionnaire and include the following information: gender, age, education 
      level, psychosocial and work situations, such as departments, working hours, work 
      shift, depression, and sleep time. Burnout was evaluated according to the Chinese 
      Burnout inventory, Mets was evaluated according to the criteria of the National 
      Cholesterol Education Program of Taiwan-Treatment Panel for Adults III (NCEP-ATP 
      III). RESULTS: A total of 1758 nurses participated with a median age of 
      35.2 years. The prevalence of burnout and Mets was 6.4% and 13.84%, respectively. 
      The results showed that burnout induced higher risk of Mets, odds ratio (OR) 1.70 
      (95% confidence interval, 1.04-3.05). Other factors, such as out-patient nurses, 
      seniority (4-10 and >10 years), working hours (51-59 h/wk), nigh shift, Brief 
      Symptom Rating Scale-5 (score 10-14 and >==15), poor self-rated health status, and 
      inadequate sleep time, led to higher risk of Mets. Biomarkers research showed 
      that Glycated hemoglobin (Hba1c) was significantly associated with burnout nurses 
      (OR = 24.72, P < .001), but thyroid-stimulating hormone and free thyroxin were 
      not. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggested positive associations between burnout and 
      Mets in nurses. For nurses with higher seniority, long hours of work, night 
      shifts, poor physical and mental conditions, and poor lifestyle habits in 
      different departments, strategies are needed to prevent burnout and Mets.
