The aim of this study was to examine the hypothesis that seasonal variation in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with increased insulin resistance. Among 840 Japanese male workers who were evaluated using the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in June (summer) 2010, we prospectively studied a total of 758 subjects (40-65 years of age) who underwent an assessment in December (winter) 2010. MetS was defined according to the criteria proposed by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine (JSIM). The median level of HOMA-IR in the study subjects was 0.84 (interquartile range: 0.60-1.19). The prevalence rates of IDF- and JSIM-MetS significantly increased from 12.4 and 9.6% in the summer to 16.6 and 13.3% in the winter, respectively (each P
