The objectives of this prospective study were to explore the health-related lifestyle of police cadets and assess changes in their health behaviors following entry into the police force. To do so, 190 police cadets completed an online questionnaire assessing their physical activity level, sedentary behaviors, diet quality, sleep hygiene, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, and stress level. One year following their graduation from the police training program, participants were invited to, once again, complete the questionnaire. Our results suggest that police cadets generally display healthy lifestyles, with very few cadets being physically inactive, smokers, reporting insufficient sleep duration, and displaying obesity. Nevertheless, paired-sample comparisons highlighted significant decreases in physical activity, fruit and vegetable intake, sleep duration, and sleep quality at the follow-up. Likewise, significant increases in fast-food consumption and BMI were observed.
本前瞻性研究旨在探索警校学员的健康相关生活方式，并评估其入警后健康行为的变化。为此，190 名警校学员完成了一份在线问卷，评估他们的身体活动水平、久坐行为、饮食质量、睡眠卫生、饮酒、吸烟和压力水平。在他们从警察培训计划毕业一年后，邀请参与者再次完成问卷。我们的结果表明，警校学员通常表现出健康的生活方式，很少有学员不活跃、吸烟、报告睡眠时间不足和肥胖。然而，配对样本比较突出显示，在随访时，身体活动、水果和蔬菜摄入、睡眠时间和睡眠质量显著下降。同样，快餐消费和 BMI 显著增加。
