Témata: OBESITY risk factors, FIREFIGHTING, BIOMARKERS, C-reactive protein, BIOCHEMISTRY, INFLAMMATION, CARDIOPULMONARY fitness, ANTHROPOMETRY, JOB stress, CARDIOVASCULAR diseases, HEALTH status indicators, RISK assessment, OXIDATIVE stress, WAIST circumference, INSULIN resistance
Abstrakt: Firefighters are at elevated risk for developing cardiometabolic disease. These data show that having a high level of cardiorespiratory fitness, and low waist circumference is associated with reduced blood markers of insulin resistance, inflammation and oxidative stress. These findings providing implications for reducing cardiometabolic disease risk among firefighters. Objective: Firefighters are plagued with cardiometabolic disease (CMD). Obesity, poor cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, and blood lipids (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) are risk factors for CMD. However, markers of oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance can provide further insight regarding CMD risk. Methods: This study investigated the relationships between fitness metrics (cardiorespiratory and muscular fitness, percent body fat, waist circumference), blood lipids, blood pressure, and years of experience as a firefighter to blood markers of insulin resistance: Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), oxidative stress: advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), and inflammation: C-reactive protein. Results: Waist circumference and blood concentrations of triglycerides were significantly related to AOPPs and HOMA-IR. Cardiorespiratory fitness was inversely related to AOPPs, HOMA-IR and C-reactive protein. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate the importance of high cardiorespiratory fitness and low waist circumference to reduce markers of CMD. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
