Considering the concerns of obesity problems, Mumbai Police authorities had launched full-day residential "Healthy Living Training Program" in February 2019 for obese policemen. We studied the effectiveness of the program by assessing health profile of the participants, and change in anthropometric measurements and blood pressure readings.
Permission from the concerned authorities and approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) were taken. Health profiles of 143 policemen were assessed. Anthropometric measurements and blood pressure recordings were done on the first and the last day of the 28-day program. The data were coded and entered in password-protected Microsoft Excel. Paired -test was applied to test statistically significant differences. The association of some of the variables with weight change was assessed by the Chi-square test for categorical variables.
The mean age of participants was 49.6 ± 5 years. The proportion of hypertensive, diabetics, vision problems, and bone and joint problems were 48.2%, 23.2%, 57.1%, and 46.4%, respectively. Only 70% of them had home-cooked food in the lunch. Daily, 50% of the participants do physical activity. There was statistically significant weight reduction (105.6 ± 12.1s vs. 103.3 ± 12 kg), body mass index (BMI) (36.3 ± 3.4 vs. 35.5 ± 3.3), waist circumference (110.8 ± 7.9 vs. 109.5 ± 7.9), and hip circumference (115.6 ± 8.1 vs. 106.8 ± 15.0) of the participants after 28 days of training program.
"Healthy Living Training Program" was effective in reducing weight, blood pressure, BMI, and waist and hip circumference. The program benefitted the participants by inculcating healthy lifestyles and raising awareness of health issues.
鉴于对肥胖问题的关注，孟买警方于2019年2月为肥胖警察启动了全日制住宿“健康生活培训计划”。我们通过评估参与者的健康状况、人体测量指标变化和血压读数来研究该计划的效果。
获得了相关当局的许可和机构伦理委员会（IEC）的批准。对143名警察的健康状况进行了评估。在为期28天的计划的第一天和最后一天进行了人体测量和血压记录。数据进行编码并输入受密码保护的Microsoft Excel中。应用配对t检验来检验统计学上的显著差异。通过卡方检验评估一些变量与体重变化的关联，用于分类变量。
参与者的平均年龄为49.6±5岁。高血压、糖尿病、视力问题以及骨骼和关节问题的比例分别为48.2%、23.2%、57.1%和46.4%。他们中只有70%的人午餐吃家常菜。每天有50%的参与者进行体育活动。经过28天的培训计划后，参与者的体重（105.6±12.1千克对103.3±12千克）、体重指数（BMI）（36.3±3.4对35.5±3.3）、腰围（110.8±7.9对109.5±7.9）和臀围（115.6±8.1对106.8±15.0）有统计学上的显著降低。
“健康生活培训计划”在减轻体重、血压、BMI以及腰围和臀围方面是有效的。该计划通过灌输健康的生活方式和提高对健康问题的认识，使参与者受益。
