Abstract

Background: It is critical to precisely assess the presence of cardiovascular (CV) risk in military personnel, in order to avoid potentially CV-events. In Iran limited number of studies have been performed on military personnel and their CV-risk. We aimed to investigate correlation between obesity and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in military personnel.

Methods: The present cross-sectional analytical study, analyzed the data of 559 military personnel in Tehran, Iran in 2023. The dataset sourced from the registry system. The biochemical analysis of blood samples was performed by a biomedical analysis company. The univariate regression analyses were conducted through separate univariate linear regression within the obesity group.

Results: The mean age of personnel was 36.58 years. Among obese personel, there was an inverse relationship between age and cholesterol β=-0.11. Moreover, hemoglobin β=-0.68 and MCH β=-0.33 were significantly related to high cholesterol, MCH is associated with risk of metabolic syndrome (β=-0.57). Moreover among obese personnel, lower uric acid levels and higher ALT levels are correlated with an increased risk of Diabetes.

Conclusion: The prevalence of obesity in military personnel was the same as in the general population. Diabetes, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, obesity, and metabolic syndrome were all linked to CVD risk factors among military personnel. Although the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in military personnel was lower than their peers in other countries, other risk factors of CVD were prevalent among military personnel.

军人肥胖与心血管疾病危险因素的相关性研究
背景:为了避免潜在的心血管事件,准确评估军人心血管(CV)风险的存在是至关重要的。在伊朗,对军事人员及其cv风险进行了数量有限的研究。我们的目的是探讨肥胖与军人心血管疾病(CVD)危险因素的相关性。方法:采用横断面分析方法,对2023年伊朗德黑兰559名军事人员的数据进行分析。来自注册表系统的数据集。血液样本的生化分析由一家生物医学分析公司进行。单因素回归分析在肥胖组中通过单独的单因素线性回归进行。结果:人员平均年龄36.58岁。肥胖人群中,年龄与胆固醇呈负相关β=-0.11。血红蛋白β=-0.68, MCH β=-0.33与高胆固醇显著相关,MCH与代谢综合征风险相关(β=-0.57)。此外,在肥胖人群中,较低的尿酸水平和较高的ALT水平与糖尿病风险增加相关。结论:军人肥胖患病率与普通人群相同。糖尿病、高脂血症、高血压、肥胖和代谢综合征都与军人的心血管疾病危险因素有关。虽然军人代谢综合征的患病率低于其他国家的同龄人,但其他心血管疾病的危险因素在军人中普遍存在。

期刊介绍: Iranian Journal of Public Health has been continuously published since 1971, as the only Journal in all health domains, with wide distribution (including WHO in Geneva and Cairo) in two languages (English and Persian). From 2001 issue, the Journal is published only in English language. During the last 41 years more than 2000 scientific research papers, results of health activities, surveys and services, have been published in this Journal. To meet the increasing demand of respected researchers, as of January 2012, the Journal is published monthly. I wish this will assist to promote the level of global knowledge. The main topics that the Journal would welcome are: Bioethics, Disaster and Health, Entomology, Epidemiology, Health and Environment, Health Economics, Health Services, Immunology, Medical Genetics, Mental Health, Microbiology, Nutrition and Food Safety, Occupational Health, Oral Health. We would be very delighted to receive your Original papers, Review Articles, Short communications, Case reports and Scientific Letters to the Editor on the above men­tioned research areas.
