Abstract

Aims Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Military personnel may be at increased risk due to occupational stress, irregular work hours, and varying patterns of physical activity. This study aimed to investigate the Prevalence of Hypertension and its associated demographic, occupational, and metabolic factors among Farajaa personnel in Tehran. Methods In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data recorded in the FARAJA health system from police personnel in Tehran who underwent blood pressure measurement in 2022 were analyzed. Blood pressure was classified based on the 2017 ACC/AHA guidelines, and laboratory data were extracted from the Behdaad system. Personnel were categorized according to their occupational unit. Both univariate and multivariate ordinal logistic regression were used to assess associations between variables and blood pressure levels. Statistical analysis was conducted using STATA version 17, with significance set at p < 0. 05. Findings Among 4, 781 police personnel, the overall Prevalence of Hypertension was 59. 5%. Most participants were male (97. 8%), with a mean age of 36. 2 ± 7. 3 years. Higher BMI, elevated fasting blood sugar, low HDL cholesterol, and male sex were significantly associated with higher blood pressure levels. Occupational unit was also an independent predictor: staff in operational and relief units had lower Hypertension risk compared to those in the patrol unit, while administrative personnel were at greater risk—even after adjusting for other variables. Conclusion The type of occupational unit, independent of clinical indicators, plays a significant role in the development of Hypertension. Differences in physical activity levels, job-related stress, and lifestyle patterns across units may inform the design of targeted preventive interventions, particularly for administrative personnel.
