“…Indeed, our results suggest that LEOs with increased occupational stress levels have higher odds of hypertension, sleep apnea, and having one or more CVD risk factors. These results are coherent with previous studies supporting the association between psychological stress and CVD risk factors in LEOs 18,19,50 . While the association of psychological stress with hypertension in LEOs has been set forth by others, fewer studies have investigated the association between sleep apnea and stress.…”

“…These results are coherent with previous studies supporting the association between psychological stress and CVD risk factors in LEOs. 18,19,50 While the association of psychological stress with hypertension in LEOs has been set forth by others, fewer studies have investigated the association between sleep apnea and stress. Previous work from Rajaratnam et al 51 found that sleep apnea is the most prevalent sleep disorder in LEOs and is associated with stress-related mental health outcomes such as depression, emotional exhaustion, and anxiety disorder.…”

Objective This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the interrelationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), occupational stress, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in law enforcement officers (LEOs). Methods A total of 229 LEOs completed a survey assessing their LTPA level, occupational stress, and CVD risk factors. Results After adjusting for age and sex, physically inactive LEOs are more likely to have one or more CVD risk factors. While high occupational stress was associated with greater odds of CVD risk factors in physically inactive LEOs, stress was not significantly associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in active LEOs. Conclusions Our results suggest that occupational stress is associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in LEOs. Nevertheless, LTPA might have the potential to mitigate the impact of occupational stress on CVD risk factors.

“…Janczura et al, in a study conducted on a group of police officers, showed that OS, assessed by the measurement of blood 8-iso-PGF2α concentration, depends on the number of components of MS [ 60 ]. In a study conducted by Korkmaz et al, in which only people with BMI below 25 kg/m 2 participated, it was shown that the levels of advanced protein oxidation products, TAC, and the prooxidant-antioxidant balance are significantly higher in people with MS compared to people in the control group [ 61 ].…”

“Obesity and Insulin Resistance” Is the Component of the Metabolic Syndrome Most Strongly Associated with Oxidative Stress

et al. 2021

Metabolic syndrome (MS) is not a homogeneous entity, but this term refers to the coexistence of factors that increase the risk for the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. There are different versions of the criteria for the diagnosis of MS, which makes the population of patients diagnosed with MS heterogeneous. Research to date shows that MS is associated with oxidative stress (OS), but it is unclear which MS component is most strongly associated with OS. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between the parameters of OS and the presence of individual elements of MS in young adults, as well as to identify the components of MS by means of principal components analysis (PCA) and to investigate how the parameters of OS correlate with the presence of individual components. The study included 724 young adults with or without a family history of coronary heart disease (population of the MAGNETIC study). Blood samples were taken from the participants of the study to determine peripheral blood counts, biochemical parameters, and selected parameters of OS. In addition, blood pressure and anthropometric parameters were measured. In subjects with MS, significantly lower activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD), copper- and zinc-containing SOD (CuZnSOD), and manganese-containing SOD (MnSOD) were found, along with significantly higher total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and significantly lower concentration of thiol groups per gram of protein (PSH). We identified three components of MS by means of PCA: “Obesity and insulin resistance”, “Dyslipidemia”, and “Blood pressure”, and showed the component “Obesity and insulin resistance” to have the strongest relationship with OS. In conclusion, we documented significant differences in some parameters of OS between young adults with and without MS. We showed that “Obesity and insulin resistance” is the most important component of MS in terms of relationship with OS.

“…43 High perceived and oxidative stress are instrumental in promoting hypertension in police officers. 44 Arterial stiffening and aging being the crucial factors leading to hypertension 41 , a relatively higher percentage of older male police officers in this study could have caused the gender based difference. Other than high BP, high TG in male police officers could be attributed to a higher prevalence of alcohol drinking and extrapolating it to other unhealthy habits and lesser physical activity in this population.…”

Objective: The prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) in Thai police officers is unknown. This study aims to accurately determine the prevalence of MetS in this population compared to the Thai general population. Materials and Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 107,933 Thai police officers during the 2012 annual Police Health Care Center check-up. Metabolic syndrome was defined using the harmonized criteria of six international expert groups. Results: The prevalence of MetS among Thai police officers was 39.24%, with a higher prevalence among males compared to female police officers (40.9% male and 14.3% female). The prevalence was higher in male police officers (40.65% versus 23.80%, P<0.001), whereas it was lower in female officers (16.30% versus 31.59%, P<0.001) when compared to the general population. High blood pressure was the most common abnormal metabolic component in both genders (male 67.4 % female 33.3%). Whereas observation of low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in males (11.6%) and high fasting plasma glucose (FG) in females (16.3%). The adjusted odds ratio for MetS increased with age, wide pulse pressure, male gender, lower rank, alcohol drinking, and being in a non-metropolitan city. Conclusion: The prevalence of MetS is higher among Thai police officers compared to the general Thai population. These findings underscore the need for effective preventive measures and continuous monitoring to reduce the risk and burden of cardiovascular diseases.
