Abstract

Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the interrelationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), occupational stress, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in law enforcement officers (LEOs).

Methods: A total of 229 LEOs completed a survey assessing their LTPA level, occupational stress, and CVD risk factors.

Results: After adjusting for age and sex, physically inactive LEOs are more likely to have one or more CVD risk factors. While high occupational stress was associated with greater odds of CVD risk factors in physically inactive LEOs, stress was not significantly associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in active LEOs.

Conclusions: Our results suggest that occupational stress is associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in LEOs. Nevertheless, LTPA might have the potential to mitigate the impact of occupational stress on CVD risk factors.

执法人员的体力活动、职业压力和心血管危险因素：一项横断面研究。

目的：本横断面研究旨在评估执法人员（LEO）休闲时间体育活动（LTPA）、职业压力和心血管疾病（CVD）风险因素之间的相互关系。结果：在调整了年龄和性别后，身体不活跃的LEO更有可能有一个或多个CVD风险因素。虽然在体力不活动的LEO中，高职业压力与更高的CVD危险因素发生率相关，但在活动的LEOs中，压力与CVD危险因素的发生率没有显著相关性。结论：我们的研究结果表明，职业压力与LEO中CVD危险因子的发生率相关。尽管如此，LTPA可能有潜力减轻职业压力对CVD风险因素的影响。
