Abstract
The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and factors associated with it, nowadays, are increasing in alarming rates among different occupational groups. Of these occupational groups are Police officers that, often, are exposed to unique life styles and stressful situations which may lead to diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular diseases. Due to this reason, the present study was conducted to assess the prevalence and factors associated with diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose level among members of federal police commission residing in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
A cross-sectional study design was conducted from April to May 2015. Multistage and systematic random sampling techniques were employed to select the study participants. The study population was federal police commission members living in Addis Ababa and served for at least a year. The data were collected using structured questionnaire, physical examinations and blood samples, based on the WHO stepwise approach. Data were entered in to SPSS version 20.0 and descriptive statistics and logistics regression were used for analysis.
Out of the 1003 eligible subjects, 936 (93.3%) police officers have participated in this study. The prevalence of overall impaired glucose homeostasis (IGH) was 120 (13%) of which 47 (5%) were diabetes and 73 (8%) were impaired fasting glucose. Whereas police rank, history of first degree relative who suffered from diabetes, hypertension and waist hip ratio showed a statistical significance with prevalence of diabetes mellitus, age, family history, hypertension, BMI and waist hip ratio were found to be associated with impaired fasting glucose.
The study identified a high prevalence of IGH among the police officers. A priority should be given on preventive strategies of diabetes mellitus, as that of communicable diseases, by Federal Police Commission Health Service Directorate, Federal Ministry of Health and other concerned partners.

A recent estimate indicates that more than 387 million (8.5%) of people worldwide have diabetes. Among these Africa account a 22 million (5.1%) people with diabetes which is likely to increase by 70% in 2035 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>].</p><p>Among people with diabetes mellitus in developing countries, the majority were in the age group of 45 to 64 years while those in developed countries are aged 65 years and above. This indicates that developing countries are losing productive age groups than developed nations. This, in turn, brings double burden in the region; along with the communicable diseases such as; HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR3">3</xref>].</p><p>Before the 1990s, diabetes mellitus was considered as a rare medical condition in Sub-Saharan Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR4">4</xref>]. Currently, however, many studies revealed that the prevalence and incidence of type 2 diabetes is rising in the region, mostly due to life style changes (westernization), lack of physical activities, increased rural urban migration (urbanization), high calorie intake and increased life expectancy (ageing) of the population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR5">5</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>].</p><p>According to the World Health Organization, in Sub- Saharan Africa, the number of diabetes cases in 2013 ranges from 4.5 to 5.0% [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR6">6</xref>]. This could increase by 98% which is from 12.1 million in 2010 to about 23.1 million in 2030. The impaired glucose tolerance that was reported in 2010 (26.9 million) is also expected to rise to 47.3 million in 2030 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR7">7</xref>].</p><p>In Ethiopia, it is difficult to find population based data on the exact prevalence of diabetes. However, there are some studies done on selected population groups that showed a prevalence of 4.6 to 5.1% diabetes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR8">8</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>].

According to the 2014 report of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), the number of people aged 20–79 years and living with diabetes in Ethiopia was estimated to be 4.9 million and more than 2.9 million (6.9%) people live with impaired glucose tolerance. Among these, more than 1.4 million people were undiagnosed for diabetes mellitus and its prevalence is higher in urban than rural population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>].</p><p>Globally, the prevalence of diabetes across various occupational groups and its relationship with an occupational factor is a topic of recent interest. Police officers as an occupational group are exposed to unique life styles and stressful situations that may lead to diabetes mellitus and other cardiovascular diseases. For instance, the study conducted among police officer in India showed that this occupational group had higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome and other cardio metabolic abnormalities compared to the general population [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. In US, a cohort study conducted among police force members also showed that these groups are at risk of developing non communicable diseases at earlier age and that they die much earlier compared to other groups [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>]. But the situation of Ethiopian police officers is unknown, even though the groups are predisposed to those factors accountable for developing diabetes mellitus.</p><p>Evidence from many studies indicates that police officers with well managed diabetes mellitus are capable of safe and effective job performance on duty [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. However, those who are undiagnosed may be at risk of sudden incapacitation and death, thus affecting their wellbeing and ability to perform well. Knowing the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose level and associated factors among police officers will give us a clue for appropriate intervention.</p><p>Therefore, the present study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose level and to identify possible associated factors among members of Federal Police Commission in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.</p></sec><sec id="Sec2"><title>Methods</title><sec id="Sec3"><title>Study area</title><p>The study was conducted in Addis Ababa city, the capital of Ethiopia, with a population of 3,048,631 and total area of 540 km<sup>2</sup>.

Out of this, 5% were diabetes mellitus and 8% were impaired fasting glucose. Among the subjects with diabetes mellitus, the ratio of those diagnosed to the undiagnosed was 1:2.1. Sixty eight percent of the study subjects with diabetes were unaware of their blood glucose level before the survey. This higher prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes might be due to the priority given to communicable diseases, poor culture of visiting health facility for medical checkups, and lack of decentralized health services for chronic non communicable diseases. This is also similar to other cross sectional studies in developing countries that reported a higher prevalence of undiagnosed diabetes mellitus due to lack of health facility and awareness as contributing factors [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR19">19</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>].</p><p>The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in the present study (5%) was consistent to the estimated national prevalence of Ethiopia (4.85%) reported by the IDF in 2014 [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR2">2</xref>]. Comparable prevalence (4.5%) was also reported by ACIPH and MIRT among commercial bank workers and teachers in Addis Ababa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR10">10</xref>]. There was a similar study conducted in Bishoftu town which reported a 5.1% undiagnosed diabetes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>]. In contrast to this study, however, higher prevalence of 33.6, 32.1 and 15.0% of diabetes were reported by J. Ramakrishnan et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>], Shaban et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>] and Kumar et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], respectively among police officers in India. This might be due to the high genetic predisposition of Indian people to diabetes mellitus, low prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption and larger proportion of younger study subjects in the present study. Likely, higher prevalence of diabetes (7%) was reported by Enang, OE, Otu AA, Essien OE, et al. in Calabar [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR24">24</xref>]. Nevertheless, a low prevalence (6.67%) of overall IGH was reported by Manjunath et al. among army members in India [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>].</p><p>The prevalence of impaired fasting glucose (8%) in this study was comparable to a finding by J. Ramakrishnan et al., on policemen in India that reported 7.0% [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>]. There was also another study in Calabar by Enang OE, Otu AA, Essien OE, et al. which reported a 7% impaired fasting glucose level [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>]. In contrary, lower prevalence (1.1%) of IGH was reported by Kumar et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>] among police officers in Bankura, India. This might be accounted for different criteria used for diagnoses of impaired fasting glucose level, other socioeconomic as well as behavioral characteristics.</p><p>The study found a significant increase in prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose with hypertension. This is similar to the findings reported by Shaban et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>], Kumar et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>], Manjunath et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>], among police officers in India and Megerssa et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR9">9</xref>] in Ethiopia.</p><p>In this study, BMI of the study participants was found to be significantly associated with having of IFG. This is, also, similar to a study conducted by Nagaya et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR14">14</xref>] among police officers in India which documented that the increasing higher prevalence of diabetes among police officers was due to their BMI compared to the general population. A cohort study by Mesinger et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR25">25</xref>] has also revealed a significant association between BMI and diabetes. By a finding in Ethiopia, too, BMI was shown to be significantly associated with diabetes. In addition, central obesity was associated with the prevalence of diabetes in this study. The result was comparable with the study by Shaban et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR23">23</xref>], Manjunath et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>] among police officers in India.</p><p>Age was found to have a significant association with impaired fasting glucose among the study subjects. This is similar to a finding by Manjunath M.L et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>], among army members in India which shown that IGH tend to increase with advanced age. This could be explained by the progressive decline in strength and endurance of musculature which, in turn, causes muscle atrophy thereby leading for impaired glucose level.</p><p>Even though association was established between diabetes mellitus and physical activity, it is difficult to prove the casual relationship as the number of physically active subjects with the disease was very low. However, it is evident that many cross sectional [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>] and cohort studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR28">28</xref>–<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR32">32</xref>] have documented lack of physical activity as an established factor for having diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, people who were engaged in moderate to vigorous physical activity were found to be at a lower risk [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR33">33</xref>]. Similarly, in a study done by Colberg et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR34">34</xref>], it was stated that participation in regular physical activities improved blood glucose control, prevented or delayed type-2 diabetes, blood pressure, mortality and morbidity.</p><p>The other factor which was associated with both diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose in the present study was, having first degree relatives who suffered from diabetes mellitus. This is also supported by many studies that proved family history as an independent factor that contributes for developing diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR13">13</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. There was no significant sex difference observed in prevalence of diabetes mellitus and IFG in this study. This is consistent with reports in different countries, like Angola [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR36">36</xref>], Nigeria [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR21">21</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR22">22</xref>], South Africa [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR27">27</xref>], Botswana [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR37">37</xref>], China [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR26">26</xref>] and the 3<sup>rd</sup> NHANES, in USA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. In general, even though, some gender differences have been observed in some communities across the globe, the variation might be attributed for prevalence of different factors in different populations [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR29">29</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR38">38</xref>].</p><p>There was also no significant ethnic and religion difference on IGH among the study subjects in contrast to other global studies such as; Pima Indians, African Americans and Arabs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR35">35</xref>]. The indifference might be due to cultural and life style similarity among the participants in the present study. Likely, there were no statistical significance differences found on police rank and years of service in this study with both diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose. This is comparable with the study by Kumar et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR15">15</xref>]. In contrast to this, police rank and year of service were associated with diabetes mellitus in Manjunath et al. study [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="CR12">12</xref>]. This might be accounted for the reason that majority of the study subjects in this survey were lower rank and served less than 10 years.</p><p>Due to resource limitation, oral glucose tolerance tests were not performed which may decrease the strength of this study. In addition, since the study was conducted among subjects with different life style and work culture, generalizing the findings for the actual population of the country would be difficult.</p></sec><sec id="Sec20"><title>Conclusion</title><p>The study identified a high prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose among the police officers. The important factors that were associated with diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose were; age, physical inactivity, hypertension, BMI and central obesity. Whereas, further studies might be required to investigate the full magnitude of the problem, a priority must be given to preventive strategies of IGH by Federal Police Commission Health Service Directorate, Federal Ministry of Health and other partners.</p></sec></body><back><glossary><title>Abbreviations</title><def-list><def-item><term>AOR</term><def><p>Adjusted odds ratio</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>BMI</term><def><p>Body mass index</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>COR</term><def><p>Crude odds ratio</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>IFG</term><def><p>Impaired fasting glucose</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>IGH</term><def><p>Impaired glucose homeostasis</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>MET</term><def><p>Metabolic equivalent of task</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>WHO</term><def><p>World Health Organization</p></def></def-item><def-item><term>WHR</term><def><p>Wrist hip ratio</p></def></def-item></def-list></glossary><ack><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>We would like to thank the public health staff secretaries and librarians for their support during the whole process of this study.
