	%X A data cutting and sorting method (DCSM) is proposed
to optimize the performance of data mining. DCSM reduces the
calculation time by getting rid of redundant data during the data
mining process. In addition, DCSM minimizes the computational units
by splitting the database and by sorting data with support counts. In the
process of searching for the relationship between metabolic syndrome
and lifestyles with the health examination database of an electronics
manufacturing company, DCSM demonstrates higher search
efficiency than the traditional Apriori algorithm in tests with different
support counts.
