Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of cardiorespiratory fitness on cardiometabolic risk factors and testosterone levels among firefighters.

Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with seventy-four firefighters working in a metropolitan municipality. Anthropometric measurements, cardiometabolic risk parameters (high density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, triglycerides, total cholesterol), total testosterone (TT) levels were clinically evaluated for each participant.

Results: The proportion of firefighters with low TT was 20.3%, and a statistically significant negative relationship was found between TT and weight, BMI, body fat percentage, waist circumference, hip circumference, and HbA1c as cardiometabolic risk factors (p < 0.05). Additionally, statistically significant positive relationship was observed between metabolic equivalent scores and testosterone levels among the firefighters (p < 0.05).

Conclusion: The key findings of this study reveal significant differences in various cardiometabolic risk factors between firefighters with high fitness levels and those with lower fitness levels.

消防员心肺健康对心脏代谢危险因素及睾酮水平影响的研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨心肺健康对消防员心脏代谢危险因素及睾酮水平的影响。方法：横断面描述性研究进行了74名消防员在大都会市工作。临床评估每位参与者的人体测量、心脏代谢危险参数（高密度脂蛋白、低密度脂蛋白、甘油三酯、总胆固醇）、总睾酮（TT）水平。结果：低TT的消防员比例为20.3%，TT与体重、BMI、体脂率、腰围、臀围、HbA1c等心脏代谢危险因素呈显著负相关（p p）。结论：本研究的关键发现揭示了高健康水平消防员与低健康水平消防员在各心脏代谢危险因素上存在显著差异。
