“…Hungary (Ihász et al), and the others from the region of Arabian Peninsula, i.e. from the UAE, Abu Dhabi to be precise (Kukic et al, 2019), showed that the average PBF value among Hungarian women was at the level of 34.32 %, and among those from UAE 40.09 %. When compared to Serbian women, respondents from Hungary had 16.9 % more body fat on average, whereas the UAE respondents had 28.9 % more, respectively.…”

“…It was previously found that different social, life and health factors, such as raising a family, maternity status, hormone status, professional-work environment and obligations, level of physical activity, diet habits etc. significantly influence variability factor of body composition changes among women (Thompson et al;Menotti et al;Gába & Pridalová;Sarayakin et al, 2018;Kukic et al, 2019). In a research conducted using the same measurement method and the same instrument, on a sample of women from Czech Republic, an average PBF value at the level of 29.1±8.9 % was measured.…”

“…In relation to results of skeletal muscle percentage in the body (Table I, PSMM) it was established that the average value is at the level of 39.30±5.25 %, and that it is within range of 42.25 % for the youngest sample (18.0-19.9 yr of age) to 32.58 % for the oldest sample (60.0-69.9 yr). In the research conducted using the same measurement method and instrument, on the sample of Hungarian women (Ihász et al) and UAE women (Kukic et al, 2019) an average PSMM value at the level of 35.79 % was measured, i.e. 32.73 %, which is an 8.93 %, i.e.…”

“…From the perspective of anatomy, physiology and biology the female organism is very specific. Cyclical secretion of sex hormones during the reproductive period, pregnancy, childbirth, maternity, menopause, professional obligations and daily activities all have a great effect on body status (Thompson et al, 2004;Kukic et al, 2019).…”

“…On the other hand, along with a considerable number of published researches that tested body composition of women of various ages by applying the method of segmental multichannel bioimpedance (Gába & Pridalová;Ihász et al;Kukic et al, 2019) there are still no researches that define the standards and normatives for evaluating the status of two very important, if not the most important, body status characteristics, and those are: percentage of body fat (PBF) and percentage of skeletal muscles in the body (PSMM).…”

Profile and standards for the diagnostics of percent of body fat and muscles were defined on a sample of 1924 women from the Republic of Serbia, aged 18.0 to 69.9, where the body structure of subjects was measured by applying multichannel segmental bioimpedance. Total sample was divided into six age groups, for the purpose of the definition of standard with regards to age. When it comes to body fat percentage results have shown that the average value of the total sample was 28.51±9.26 %, and between the range of 23.81 and 39.94 % for age groups 18.0-19.9 yr and 60.0-69.9 yr, respectively. Regression analysis results have shown that the constant of body fat percentage increase by trend of 3.417 % per decade, and that 25.1 % of mutual variance trend was explained by the model, with prediction error of 4.55 %. With regards to the percentage of skeletal muscles in the body, the results have shown that the average value of the total sample was 39.30±5.25 %, and within the range of 42.25 to 32.58 % for age groups 18.0-19.9 yr and 60.0-69.9 yr, respectively. Regression analysis results have shown that the constant of the skeletal muscles decrease by tend of-2.016 % per decade and that the model explained 23.8 % of mutual variance trend with prediction error of 8.08 %.

Association between police officers’ stress and perceived health

Police experience occupational stress in two categories: operational (i.e. long hours, shift work, crime scenes) and organizational (e.g. favouritism, bureaucratic red tape) stress. High occupational stress may harm officers’ health perceptions, decreasing individual policing capacity. This study surveyed the relationship between operational and organizational stress and perceived health among 1,220 Serbian police officers (female = 232 [19%]; mean age 39.1 ± 8.4 years). Participants answered a single general health question, a 20-question operational police stress questionnaire, and a 20-question organizational police stress questionnaire. Perceived health was negatively associated with operational and organizational stress. Moderate negative associations were found between age and health and obesity status and health. When age groups were analysed separately, older officers with good or great health reported lower operational and organizational stress levels. These results suggest that better-perceived health may be protective against stress for police officers.

The purpose of this study was to analyze relationships between skeletal muscle mass percentage (SMM%) and fat mass percentage (FM%) relative to fitness test performance in law enforcement recruits. Retrospective analysis was conducted on 338 recruits (271 males, 67 females) from four academy classes. SMM% and FM% were measured using cost-effective and practical bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) equipment that used hand and foot placement. The fitness tests included: grip strength; vertical jump; 75-yard pursuit run; 2-kg medicine ball throw (MBT); push-ups and sit-ups completed in 60 s; and the 20-m multistage fitness test. Partial correlations controlling for sex derived relationships between SMM%, FM%, and the tests. Recruits were split into quartile groups for SMM% and FM% (Group 1 had the lowest SMM% or highest FM%; Group 4 the highest SMM% or lowest FM%). A one-way MANOVA, with sex as a covariate and Bonferroni post hoc, compared between-group results. SMM% correlated with all fitness tests expect for MBT; FM% with all but grip strength and MBT (r = ±0.107-0.293). Greater SMM% or lesser FM% tended to relate to better fitness test performance. The MANOVA data indicated Groups 3 and 4 (better SMM% or FM% profiles) exhibited superior fitness than Group 1 (poorest SMM% or FM% profile) (p ≤ 0.048). Recruits should ideally increase SMM% and decrease FM% before academy to optimize fitness training and testing performance, although specific guidelines should be agency-specific. Staff could use BIA to monitor body composition during academy to indicate how recruits are tolerating training.
