Describe firefighter body composition and cardiovascular health as a function of age.
217 male firefighters with 1922 distinct evaluations over 23-years were included in this retrospective analysis. The firefighters had their height, mass, six-site skin-fold, blood pressure, and resting heart rate measured annually. Linear mixed models were used to analyze the effect of age. Significance was set to P < 0.05.
With each 1-year increase in age, mass (0.42 kg, P < 0.001), body mass index (0.13 kg m-2, P < 0.001), body fat percentage (0.18%, P < 0.001), fat mass (0.25 kg, P < 0.001), and fat free mass (0.15 kg, P < 0.001) increased. Systolic blood pressure (-0.09 mm Hg, P = 0.263), diastolic blood pressure (0.05 mm Hg, P = 0.308), and resting heart rate (0.07 beats min-1, P = 0.291) did not change.
Interventions to maintain healthy body composition are critical to reduce sudden cardiovascular related death risk.
描述消防员的身体成分和心血管健康随年龄的变化。
本回顾性分析纳入了 217 名男性消防员,他们在 23 年间进行了 1922 次独立评估。每年测量消防员的身高、体重、六点皮肤褶皱、血压和静息心率。使用线性混合模型分析年龄的影响。显著性水平设为 P<0.05。
随着年龄每增加 1 岁,体重(0.42kg,P<0.001)、体重指数(0.13kg/m2,P<0.001)、体脂百分比(0.18%,P<0.001)、脂肪量(0.25kg,P<0.001)和去脂体重(0.15kg,P<0.001)均增加。收缩压(-0.09mmHg,P=0.263)、舒张压(0.05mmHg,P=0.308)和静息心率(0.07 次/分钟,P=0.291)无变化。
维持健康身体成分的干预措施对于降低突发心血管相关死亡风险至关重要。
