OBJECTIVE
There is a growing literature on the risk of chronic disease among firefighters, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer. However there is little information on firefighter's perception thereof.
METHODS
Firefighters attending a union convention in New Jersey completed a survey with four domains: firefighting experience; perceived additional risk for chronic diseases (six-point Likert scale); cancer screening history; demographics, and risk behaviors.
RESULTS
Among 167 enrolled firefighters, all were men and 86.6% active career. Median perceived risk ranged from high risk (colon, hematologic, breast, prostate, and testicular cancers) to very high risk (CVD, pulmonary diseases, all cancers, lung and oral cancer).
CONCLUSIONS
NJ Firefighters attributed considerable additional risk to acquiring chronic disease as a result of their firefighting activities. Understanding firefighter perceptions of their own morbidity and mortality will help develop future firefighter preparatory programs.
目的
有关消防员患慢性病（包括心血管疾病和癌症）风险的文献越来越多。但关于消防员对此的认知的信息却很少。
方法
新泽西州举行工会大会期间，消防员参与了一项调查，调查内容包括四个方面：消防工作经验；对慢性病（六点李克特量表）的感知风险；癌症筛查史；人口统计学和风险行为。
结果
在 167 名登记的消防员中，所有人都是男性，86.6%为现役。感知风险中位数从高风险（结肠癌、血液疾病、乳腺癌、前列腺癌和睾丸癌）到极高风险（心血管疾病、肺部疾病、所有癌症、肺癌和口腔癌）不等。
结论
新泽西州消防员认为，由于他们的消防工作，他们患慢性病的风险很大。了解消防员对自身发病率和死亡率的认知，将有助于制定未来的消防员预备计划。
