This study aimed to determine the relation between western dietary patterns with metabolic syndrome in Khorramabad city. Materials & Methods: In this study, 973 patients (237 males and 736 females) Khorramabad's residence with multistage cluster and randomized systematic sampling selected. Food intake assessment, weight and height were measured and BMI was calculated. Venous blood samples were collected for measurement of metabolic variables and blood pressure were measured. Metabolic syndrome was defined based on AHA (American Heart Association) criteria. Findings: This study showed that participants in the highest quintile of western dietary pattern in compare to the participants in the lowest quintile of western dietary pattern had more risk of metabolic syndrome (OR=2.21, CI 95%: 1.42-3.44).
