The objective of this study is to derive specific classification rules that could be used to prevent individuals with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) from developing diabetes. Specifically, we aim to identify rules which classify individuals with MS into those without diabetes (class 0) and those with diabetes (class 1). In this study we collected data from Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey and built a decision tree after data pre-processing. The decision tree brings about five useful rules and their average classification accuracy is quite high (75.8%). In addition, the decision tree showed that high blood pressure and waist circumference are the most influential factors on the classification of the two groups. Our research results will serve as good guidelines for clinicians to provide better treatment for patients with MS, such that they do not develop diabetes.

The purpose of this study is to identify the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose among non-diabetic middle-aged men in Korea and to identify factors related to impaired fasting glucose. The research method is a descriptive research study using data of 545 men aged 40-64 who participated in the 8th Korean Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(KHANES) in the second year(2020). For data analysis, frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, Rao-Scott 𝛘², t-test, and logistic regression analysis were performed using the complex sample analysis method of SPSS/WIN 23.0 program. The results of this study showed that the prevalence of impaired fasting glucose was 44.77%, and the frequency of drinking(OR=1.531, 95% CI: 1.01-2.33) and triglycerides(OR=1.002, 95% CI: 1.00-1.01) were significantly related factors for impaired fasting glucose. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a program for the prevention and management of impaired fasting glucose in middle-aged men, and this program should include drinking habits and triglycerides management strategies.
