Abstract
This study sought to investigate the evolution of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in career firefighters. A questionnaire was sent to a cohort of 233 Québec career firefighters in 2015 and 2021 to collect demographic and occupational information and the presence of CVD risk factors. Ninety-six (96) firefighters (1 female) responded to the questionnaire in 2015 and 2021. Body weight (2015: 88.3 ± 10.9, 2021: 89.6 ± 10.7 kg, p = 0.01), body mass index (2015: 27.6 ± 3.2, 2021: 28.0 ± 3.0 kg/m2, p = 0.01), number of CVD risk factors (2015: 1.1 ± 1.0, 2021: 1.3 ± 0.9 CVD risk factors, p = 0.05), and proportion of firefighters with at least 1 CVD risk factor (2015: 71, 2021: 82%, p = 0.02) increased. Overall, our results highlight an aggravation of several CVD risk factors in Québec career firefighters over the years.
