Abstract

Background and Aim: The purpose of this research was to determine and compare the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the military and non-military personnel and its relationship with lifestyle to design appropriate interventions to prevent cardiovascular disease. Methods: A total of 272 males employed in Ilam province participated in this cross-sectional (descriptive) study after submitting a written consent by completing a valid and reliable questionnaire. Body mass index, abdominal circumference, blood pressure and biochemical parameters (including HDL, triglycerides, and blood sugar) were also measured. Data were analyzed by SPSS22 software and proper descriptive and statistical tests. Results: The mean age of participants was 42.8 ± 5.18 and 56.99% were overweight or obese. Low consumption of fruits, vegetables and fish were the risk factors in their lifestyle. Regarding the measurement of biochemical parameters, all participants had triglycerides above 150 mg/dL and 66.54% had HDL less than 40 mg/dL. According to Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) criteria, 41.17% of personnel had three to five risk factors and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among military personnel (13.49%) was lower than other occupations. Conclusion: The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome is high among participants in the study. There was a significant relationship between lifestyle and the prevalence of the syndrome. The active lifestyle of military personnel seems to reduce the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in them. Therefore, educational intervention is recommended with emphasis on healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

军人与非军事(民)人员代谢综合征患病率的比较及其与生活方式的关系
背景和目的:本研究的目的是确定和比较军人和非军人代谢综合征的患病率及其与生活方式的关系,以设计适当的干预措施来预防心血管疾病。方法:共有272名在伊拉姆省工作的男性在通过填写有效可靠的问卷提交书面同意书后参与了这项横断面(描述性)研究。还测量了体重指数、腹围、血压和生化参数(包括高密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯和血糖)。数据采用SPSS22软件和适当的描述性和统计学检验进行分析。结果:参与者的平均年龄为42.8±5.18岁,56.99%的人超重或肥胖。水果、蔬菜和鱼类的低消费是他们生活方式中的风险因素。关于生化参数的测量,所有参与者的甘油三酯均高于150 mg/dL,66.54%的高密度脂蛋白低于40 mg/dL。根据成人治疗小组III(ATP III)标准,41.17%的人员有三到五个危险因素,军事人员代谢综合征的患病率(13.49%)低于其他职业。结论:代谢综合征在研究参与者中的患病率很高。生活方式与该综合征的患病率之间存在显著关系。军人积极的生活方式似乎降低了他们代谢综合征的患病率。因此,建议进行教育干预,强调健康的生活方式,以减少心血管疾病的风险因素。
