To determine the prevalence of work ability (WA) and describe characteristics of the subgroup with poor WA among military police officers.
A descriptive and cross-sectional study with 329 male military police officers engaged in street patrolling in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, selected by proportionate stratified sampling. The Work Ability Index and a structured form were used to collect information about age, education, marital status, housing, salary, car ownership, work hours, rank (official or enlisted), drinking, smoking, frequency of vigorous physical activity, and obesity. Data were analyzed by uni and bivariate statistical techniques.
The work ability of the 329 military police officers was classified as poor (10.3%), moderate (28.9%), good (34.7%), and excellent (26.1%), with mean score of 37.8 and standard deviation of 7.3 points. Policemen with poor work ability, compared with those with moderate, good or excellent WA, presented higher proportions of individuals who did not own their residences (p < 0.001), with work hours above eight hours/day (p < 0.026), and obesity (p < 0.001). In the subgroup of the 26 policemen who concomitantly did not own their residences, worked more than eight 8 hours/day and were obese, the prevalence of poor work ability was 31.0%. The prevalence of poor WA was 31.0% among the 29 policemen who were simultaneously obese and did not own their residences and of 27.9% among the 43 policemen who were obese and work hours above eight hours/day.
A high percentage of military police officers from Salvador presented poor or moderate work ability, which may hamper or compromise their policing activities. The prevalence of poor work ability was higher among the policemen who did not own their residences, worked more than 8 hours/day and were obese.
确定工作能力（WA）的流行率，并描述具有较差 WA 的军事警察人员亚组的特征。
一项描述性和横断面研究，共有 329 名从事巴西萨尔瓦多街头巡逻的男性军事警察人员，通过比例分层抽样选择。使用工作能力指数和结构化表格收集有关年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况、住房、工资、汽车拥有情况、工作时间、职级（军官或士兵）、饮酒、吸烟、剧烈体力活动频率和肥胖情况的信息。使用单变量和双变量统计技术分析数据。
329 名军事警察人员的工作能力被评为较差（10.3%）、中等（28.9%）、良好（34.7%）和优秀（26.1%），平均得分为 37.8 分，标准差为 7.3 分。与工作能力中等、良好或优秀的警察相比，工作能力较差的警察拥有自己住房的比例更高（p < 0.001），工作时间超过 8 小时/天（p < 0.026），肥胖（p < 0.001）。在同时没有自己住房、工作时间超过 8 小时/天和肥胖的 26 名警察亚组中，工作能力较差的患病率为 31.0%。同时肥胖且没有自己住房的 29 名警察和工作时间超过 8 小时/天且肥胖的 43 名警察中，工作能力较差的患病率分别为 31.0%和 27.9%。
萨尔瓦多的大量军事警察人员工作能力较差或中等，这可能会妨碍或损害他们的警务活动。那些没有自己住房、工作时间超过 8 小时/天和肥胖的警察工作能力较差的患病率更高。
