ABSTRACT
Background: Police officers are civil servants meant for peace preservation, citizen protection, and promotion of violence reduction. Pre-employment examination of police officers includes intellectual, cognitive and personality assessment, physical examination, laboratory tests and social evaluation. In this study, we will compare subjects with MetS and without MetS among female police personnel on the basis of demographic parameters, anthropometric parameters and clinical parameters related to dyslipidemia, hypertension and overweight/ obesity.
Materials and methods: The present study was conducted to find the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as per lipid parameters among female police personnel of J&K Police. It was carried out in Post Graduate Department of Physiology, Government Medical College Jammu from 2019 to 2020.
Results: We observe that there is a significant difference between the groups with respect to age, duration of service, weight, BMI, WC, Hip circumference, WHR, SBP, BSF, TG, HDL, TC/ HDL and LDL/HDL.
Conclusion: The present study on women police of Jammu demonstrated that metabolic syndrome is comprised of endocrine metabolic disturbances characterised by Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus due to insulin resistance and impaired glucose regulation, hypertension, obesity and altered lipid profile consisting of elevated levels of triglyceride (TG) and low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C].
Keywords: Metabolic syndrome, Lipid parameters, hypertension, diabetes.
