SUMMARY:
Abstract: The leading cause of on-duty mortality among firefighters (FF) is sudden cardiac death (SCD), so it is necessary to reduce the prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors to minimize the risk of cardiovascular events in this unique workforce. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the effect of a 7-month multi-professional healthy lifestyle intervention program on cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRF) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) among Brazilian FF. Methods: 49 male career FF were evaluated at baseline and after 29 weeks of intervention. The program was designed to reduce CMRF based on a comprehensive healthy lifestyle intervention focused on exercise, diet, and sleep. The presence of CMRF was considered positive when: BMI ≥30 km/m2, systolic or diastolic blood pressure (BP) ≥130/85 mm/Hg, triglycerides ≥150 mg/dL, high-density lipoproteins (HDL-c) <40 mg/dL, and glycemia ≥100 mg/dL. MetS was defined according to the ATP III criteria. Physical activity (PA), diet, and sleep quality were evaluated by accelerometry, the Mediterranean diet scale, and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index, respectively. For comparison pre- and post-intervention, we use McNemar, Wilcoxon, and Mann-Whitney tests. Results: After the intervention, participants showed an increase in light and moderate PA, a reduction in sedentary behavior, and an improvement in diet and sleep quality. The proportion of FF at high or median cardiovascular risk dropped from 47.0% to 34.7%. The prevalence of elevated BP dropped from 75.5% to 34.4% (p<0.01). After 29 weeks, FF showed lower weight, BMI, body fat percentage, and glycemia (p<0.01). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that a 7-month multi-professional intervention aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle (diet and exercise training) among firefighters in a real-live approach was effective in lowering cardiometabolic risk.
