Police personnel play a vital role in any society by ensuring stability and security. Police work has been regarded as one of the stressful occupation in the world. The physical threats in police operational duties have been regarded as inherent causes of stress in police work. As hypertension is one of the major global risks factors, and its prevalence is rapidly increasing worldwide. Individuals with hypertension possess twofold higher risk of developing Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and four times higher risk of congestive heart failure compared with normotensive subjects. The policing stage is a very important biophysical social process in which an inadequate diet may affect the performance and intellectual capacity of individuals. Therefore attention needs to be given on health, nutrition and life style to prevent chronic diseases. Objective of this study was to assess the dietary habits with nutritional screening and to identify the prevalence of hypertension among police staff. 60 police staff both men and women between ages 20-60 years from Tyagarajnagar Police Station, Bangalore were selected as sample for the study. Anthropometric measurements, Dietary history, Systolic and diastolic blood pressures of the police-staff were assessed. Interview method was used to collect the data effectively using a preformed questionnaire. The police-staff presented with a sedentary lifestyle and dietary pattern similar to that prevalent in South India. Increase in the BMI (Body Mass Index) indicated overweight and obesity as per the Asian standards. Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) showed that Hypertension grade-I (SBP >130 mmHg) and Hypertension grade II (SBP >160 mmHg) was prevalent. Comparison between BMI and health indicators [Blood sugars and Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP>130 mmHg)] showed that BMI >25 among both male and female. As age increased BMI increased. Present study shows BMI indicating obesity. It also gives valuable information regarding the present magnitude of hypertension and certain risk factors among this vulnerable group. A high fat, junk food consumption, sedentary lifestyle, alcohol consumption and long standing effect of this unhealthy lifestyle may be a major cause of obesity with greater risk for the development of chronic diseases. Reduction in consumption of alcohol, balanced diet along with other lifestyle modification may help in prevention and control of hypertension.
