Abstract

The objectives of this prospective study were to explore the health-related lifestyle of police cadets and assess changes in their health behaviors following entry into the police force. To do so, 190 police cadets completed an online questionnaire assessing their physical activity level, sedentary behaviors, diet quality, sleep hygiene, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and stress level. One year following their graduation from the police training program, participants were invited to, once again, complete the questionnaire. Our results suggest that police cadets generally display healthy lifestyles, with very few cadets being physically inactive, smokers, reporting insufficient sleep duration, and displaying obesity. Nevertheless, paired-sample comparisons highlighted significant decreases in physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, sleep duration, and sleep quality at the follow-up. Likewise, significant increases in fast-food consumption and BMI were observed.

对警校学员中与健康相关的生活方式变化进行前瞻性研究。

这项前瞻性研究的目的是探索警校学生与健康相关的生活方式，并评估他们在进入警队后健康行为的变化。为此，190 名警校学员填写了一份在线问卷，评估他们的体育锻炼水平、久坐行为、饮食质量、睡眠卫生、饮酒量、吸烟量和压力水平。从警察培训项目毕业一年后，我们再次邀请学员填写调查问卷。我们的结果表明，警校学员普遍表现出健康的生活方式，很少有学员不运动、吸烟、睡眠时间不足和肥胖。然而，配对样本比较显示，在后续调查中，体育锻炼、水果和蔬菜摄入量、睡眠时间和睡眠质量都有明显下降。同样，快餐消费量和体重指数也有明显增加。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
