Abstract:
The Philippine National Police (PNP) plays a crucial role in enforcing the law, preventing and controlling crimes, maintaining peace and order, and ensuring public safety. However, the increasing number of lifestyle-related diseases among PNP personnel raises concerns about their health. This study investigates lifestyle-related diseases among PNP personnel, among 150 uniformed personnel from Batangas City who participated in a survey questionnaire and twelve (12) underwent face-to-face interviews. The data on the impact of lifestyle-related diseases on the delivery of services by PNP personnel was analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Weighted Mean method, Frequency and Percentage analysis, the Likert scale, and Collaizi’s method. The results support the notion that police officers are a heterogeneous population in terms of health with some officers being more at risk for poor health. A healthy lifestyle has a significant impact on their performance. The study recommends interventions to enhance health management and improve service delivery.
