It is very important to diagnose and treat hypertension and diabetes for preventing adverse cardiologic, renal and nervous system diseases. There is dearth of studies about prevalence of hypertension and diabetes among the security staffs and scavengers of a medical institute. This was a cross sectional observational unicentric study.
