The 21st century is considered the age of malnutrition resulting in the unprecedented frequency of civilization diseases. Among these disorders, obesity is particularly distinguished and considered an epidemic-scale disease. For this reason, conducting studies on obesity and counteracting this phenomenon is essential. Research from recent years indicates a problem of excessive body weight among officers of uniformed services, who should be characterized by good health and fitness level due to the specificity of the work. As the problem of obesity affects every fourth Pole, research in uniformed services seems to be essential from health and national security perspectives. The presented study aimed to determine the elements of nutritional status in 289 students of Polish police schools and police training centers. Body composition was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis, and bone calcification assessment was conducted by the DXA densitometric method. Based on BMI and body fat content, body weight disorders were found in 31.8% of all examined students. Densitometric test results showed changes in bone calcification of varying severity in 26.6% of the total number of respondents. The presence of obesity in students of police schools and training centers proves that the present nutrition model is energetically unbalanced, while the demonstrated disorders of bone calcification indicate an improper condition of mineral nutrition.
21 世纪被认为是营养不良的时代,导致文明病的发生频率前所未有。在这些疾病中,肥胖症尤为突出,被认为是一种具有流行病规模的疾病。因此,对肥胖症进行研究并加以应对是至关重要的。近年来的研究表明,制服部队的官员存在体重过重的问题,由于工作的特殊性,他们应该具有良好的健康和体能水平。由于肥胖问题影响到每四个波兰人,因此从健康和国家安全的角度来看,制服部队的研究似乎是必要的。本研究旨在确定 289 名波兰警察学校和警察培训中心学生的营养状况要素。通过生物电阻抗分析确定身体成分,通过 DXA 密度计法评估骨钙化情况。根据 BMI 和体脂肪含量,发现所有受检学生中有 31.8%存在体重失调。密度计测试结果显示,总应答者中有 26.6%的人出现不同严重程度的骨钙化变化。警察学校和培训中心学生的肥胖症表明,目前的营养模式在能量上是不平衡的,而所表现出的骨钙化紊乱表明矿物质营养状况不当。
