Article Main Content

Introduction: Metabolic syndrome is defined as a cluster of cardiovascular risk factors which includes hyperglycemia, central obesity, hypertension and dyslipidemia. This study aimed to describe the clinical profile of metabolic syndrome among police officers.

Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the police officers who performed the screening program at Bhayangkara Hospital Denpasar. The data was obtained by anamnesis, physical examination from anthropometric measurements and blood pressure, and laboratory findings. All data was computerized and analyzed using SPSS v.24. Criteria of metabolic syndrome was established using modified 3rd Adult Treatment Panel, International Diabetes Federation.

Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the police officers who performed the screening program in the period of January-June 2019 was 68.7%. Males (87.3%) were found to be more frequent than females (12.7%), and the most prevalent age were ranging from 36-45 years old (62.7%). A significant association was found between the metabolic syndrome event and gender (OR=0.169, 95% CI=0.078-0.366, p-value <0.001).

Conclusions: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the police officers was high, especially in male. The most frequent component of metabolic syndrome found in both male and female was central obesity. Association was found between metabolic syndrome and gender.
