Sažetak
Due to exposure to traumatic situations and shift work, police officers constitute a risk group within the working population since they show a higher frequency of cardiovascular diseases. The goal of the article is to show the presence of individual risk factors among police employees and determine whether there are any differences with regard to gender. In the public health action organized on occasion of the 2009 World Heart Day, demographic data, blood pressure (BP) values and glucose in capillary blood have been investigated in 139 police officers. In more than one third of examinees there was a higher BP registered and the values of diastolic pressure were significantly higher in male persons. The measured values of the BP require additional follow- ups.
