This study assessed the risk of hospitalization among firefighters. Data were derived from a nationally representative sample of 235 897 employed men from the National Health Interview Survey. Firefighters aged 30 to 39 years were at significantly increased risk for hospitalization relative to other employed men in the same age group (odds ratio = 1.93; 95% confidence interval=1.21, 3.09). Findings from this study and others support the call for longitudinal studies to monitor the health of this high-risk occupational group.
本研究评估了消防员住院的风险。数据来源于全国健康访谈调查中具有全国代表性的235897名在职男性样本。与同年龄组的其他在职男性相比,30至39岁的消防员住院风险显著增加(优势比=1.93;95%置信区间=1.21,3.09)。本研究及其他研究的结果支持开展纵向研究以监测这一高风险职业群体健康状况的呼吁。
