- primary outcomes which include anthropometric indicators such as Body Mass Index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio; biochemical parameters like levels of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides; and blood pressure measurements to determine the prevalence of hypertension. Behavioral factors including physical inactivity, dietary habits, tobacco use, and alcohol consumption will also be assessed.
Study Overview
Brief Summary
Cardio-metabolic diseases, encompassing conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia, pose a significant public health challenge globally, contributing to substantial morbidity and mortality rates. In India, the burden of these diseases is particularly pronounced, with the prevalence steadily/ rising, fueled by urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, and shifting dietary patterns. While considerable attention has been directed towards understanding and addressing cardio-metabolic risk factors in the general population, there remains a dearth of research focusing on specific occupational groups, particularly healthcare workers, who are themselves vulnerable to these/ conditions due to the nature of their profession.
/Healthcare workers play a pivotal role in promoting health and managing diseases within their communities; however, the demanding/ nature of their work often leaves them susceptible to neglecting their own health needs. Factors such as long working hours, irregular mealtimes, and high levels of stress contribute to poor /lifestyle habits among healthcare workers, placing them at an increased risk for cardio-metabolic diseases. Despite their critical role in public health, limited research/ elucidates the prevalence and determinants of cardio-metabolic risk factors, specifically among healthcare workers in rural settings in India/.
/Therefore, this study protocol aims to address this gap by conducting a comprehensive assessment of cardio-metabolic/ risk factors and their determinants among healthcare workers at AVBRH, a tertiary care hospital/ located in rural Wardha, Maharashtra, India. By elucidating the prevalence and determinants of these risk factors, the study seeks to inform evidence-based interventions tailored to the unique/ needs of healthcare workers in rural settings, thereby contributing to improving their health and well-being/.Bottom of Form
