Abstract

Objective: Law enforcement officers (LEOs) face numerous stressors that exacerbate cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk. The current study examined novel and classic risk factors among a cohort of LEOs to better understand relationships between biomarkers of stress, oxidative stress, inflammation, and CMD risk.

Methods: Associations between measures of cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, body composition, and cardiometabolic health with novel/classic CMD risk factors were assessed among 66 male LEOs.

Results: Muscular fitness and cardiorespiratory fitness were significantly associated with reduced insulin resistance. Moreover, higher fat mass and body fat percentages were significantly associated with increased markers of inflammation and insulin resistance.

Conclusions: Maintaining high cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness levels and improving body composition profiles can ameliorate cardiometabolic health.

执法人员的健康、压力和心脏代谢疾病风险指标

目的：执法人员（LEOs）面临着许多会加剧心脏代谢疾病（CMD）风险的压力因素。本研究对执法人员队列中的新型和传统风险因素进行了研究，以更好地了解压力、氧化应激、炎症和CMD风险的生物标志物之间的关系：方法：在66名男性LEO中评估了心肺功能和肌肉健康、身体成分、心脏代谢健康与新型/经典CMD风险因素之间的关系：结果：肌肉健康和心肺功能健康与胰岛素抵抗的降低有显著关系。此外，较高的脂肪量和体脂百分比与炎症和胰岛素抵抗标志物的增加有明显关联：结论：保持较高的心肺功能和肌肉健康水平以及改善身体成分状况可改善心脏代谢健康。
