To assess comorbidity across five common health conditions.
Surveys were collected from a probability-based sample of US law enforcement officers, and latent class models estimated for hypertension (HTN), high blood cholesterol (LDL), diabetes (DM), a gastrointestinal disorder (GI), and sleep apnea (SA).
The majority of officers (69.4%) were classified in a Healthy profile. One in four officers (23.7%) were classified in a LDL-HTN-DM profile. About 7% of officers were classified in a GI-SA-HTN profile. Age, sex, body mass index (BMI), exercise, and working a rotating shift assignment distinguished class membership.
Most officers reported good health. Law enforcement administrative or clinical assessments using readily accessible measures might be informative in identifying risk categories of need for more targeted prevention and treatment support.
评估五种常见健康状况的合并症。
从美国执法人员的概率抽样中收集了调查数据，并使用潜在类别模型对高血压（HTN）、高血胆固醇（LDL）、糖尿病（DM）、胃肠道疾病（GI）和睡眠呼吸暂停（SA）进行了估计。
大多数警察（69.4%）被归类为健康状况良好。四分之一的警察（23.7%）被归类为 LDL-HTN-DM 合并症。约 7%的警察被归类为 GI-SA-HTN 合并症。年龄、性别、体重指数（BMI）、运动和轮班工作分配区分了类别成员。
大多数警察报告健康状况良好。使用易于获得的措施进行执法行政或临床评估，可能有助于确定需要更有针对性的预防和治疗支持的风险类别。
