The invention discloses an application of a group of metabolic markers in early diagnosis of a metabolic syndrome. The metabolic markers at least comprise glutamine-leucine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine PE (18:2(9Z,12Z)/P-18:0), and further comprise tyrosine or phenylalanine. In a validation set of a specific embodiment, the accuracy degree for distinguishing a health volunteer and a metabolic syndrome patient through joint use of tyrosine, phosphatidyl ethanolamine PE (18:2(9Z,12Z)/P-18:0) and glutamine-leucine reaches 80.5%, and the accuracy degree for distinguishing the health volunteer andthe metabolic syndrome patient through joint use of phenylalanine, glutamine-leucine and phosphatidyl ethanolamine PE (18:2(9Z,12Z)/P-18:0)reaches 82.6%. Therefore, the abovementioned metabolic markers have high accuracy degree for diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome, can be prepared into a metabolic syndrome diagnosis kit and are used for early diagnosis of a healthy person suffering from the metabolic syndrome.
