Why the study?

Does law enforcement officer status predict traditional and inflammatory cardiovascular risk factors in men?

Structured PICO

Does law enforcement officer status predict traditional and inflammatory cardiovascular risk factors in men?

Population

170 men, comprising 105 law enforcement officers (LEOs) and 65 non-LEOs

Intervention

Law enforcement officer (LEO) occupational status and perceived stress

Comparator

Non-law enforcement officer (non-LEO) occupational status

Outcome

Traditional and inflammatory cardiovascular risk factors (including C-reactive protein, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure, and fibrinogen)surrogate

Law enforcement officer status is a longitudinal predictor of elevated traditional and inflammatory cardiovascular risk factors, independent of perceived stress.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

LEO status may elevate CV risk markers in men; hypothesis-generating for occupational interventions, needs prospective confirmation.
