ABSTRACT
Background: Metabolic syndrome is comprised of endocrine metabolic disturbances characterized 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]. In this present study, we aimed to explicitly evaluate the prevalence of MetS and its association with diabetes and hypertension among J&K women police personnel.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted to find the prevalence of metabolic syndrome as per hypertension and diabetes 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. A total of 101 female subjects from female battalion of J&K Police were included in the study as per the laid down inclusion and exclusion criteria. These subjects were actively involved in law and order duties. The study was under taken after approval by the institutional Ethical committee.
Results: Systolic hypertension is one of the parameters found to have highly significant association with metabolic syndrome with p-value <0.001. Around 21 out of total 101 were found to have systolic hypertension. Among these 11 were having metabolic syndrome. A total of 12 subjects were found to have diastolic hypertension, with 6 having metabolic syndrome. Evidently, we also found a significant association of diastolic blood pressure with metabolic syndrome but BSF was insignificantly associated with MetS.
Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among study subjects was around 20% and the most prevalent age group was (41-45) year. Although the prevalence of metabolic with diabetes was 60% but the association was insignificant. Although the prevalence of metabolic with diabetes was 60% but the association was insignificant. However, both systolic and diastolic blood pressures were significantly associated with MetS.
