مستخلص: Objective: To determine the correlation between the various coronary artery disease risk factors in firefighters.
Methods: The study used a quantitative, cross-sectional, and correlational study design. A total of 124 full-time firefighters were conveniently recruited to participate. Research procedures were based on the ACSM guidelines.
Results: Significances were found between age and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0.42, P < 0.001), age and waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.52, P < 0.001), BMI and WC (r = 0.88, P < 0.001), BMI and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (r = 0.48, P < 0.001), between WC and DBP (r = 0.48, P < 0.001) and between gender and cigarette smoking (χ2[1] = 5.66, P = 0.017).
Conclusion: There were significant strong relationships between BMI, SBP, DBP, dyslipidemia, and increasing age, especially in male firefighters. Reducing key risk factors should be emphasized.
