Female mariners reported more economic uncertainty concerns, while younger mariners (18 to 34) more frequently mentioned extended voyages and inability to deboard.Conclusions: These findings offer useful insights for the maritime industry to inform actionable strategies in future public health emergencies.

Phases 1 and 2 included discussions with retail representatives, and phase 3 evaluated user perceptions through a pilot study in two retail stores using semistructured interviews.Results: The PIPA method captured relevant ergonomic issues and facilitated employee input on potential improvements.

Pearson correlation was used to determine the relationship between PA and MS risk factors following recovery.Results: Postrecovery PA showed a moderate negative correlation with low-density lipoprotein ( r = -0.39, P = 0.04). Statistically significant reductions were observed in weight, body mass index, cholesterol, and waist-hip ratio (all P < 0.05). In contrast, glucose, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein showed statistically nonsignificant increases.Conclusions: Clinicians should monitor cardiovascular risks in firefighters, as subtle changes postrecovery may indicate increased heart disease risk.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":"851-855"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144251634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
