Description:

Objective:

To compare subclinical measures of cardiovascular health among wildland firefighters (WFFs) to the US general population.

Methods:

Our cross-sectional study compared body mass index (BMI), total cholesterol, and blood pressure in 11051 WFFs aged 17 to 64 years using Department of the Interior Medical Screening Program (DOI MSP) clinical screening examinations between 2014 – 2018 to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) of 2015–2016 cycle using adjusted logistic regression analyses.

Results:

The logistic regression model shows significantly higher odds of hypertension and prehypertension in WFFs (2.84 times more with 95% CI: 2.28; 3.53) than US general population. There were no consistent differences in BMI or total cholesterol between the two population.

Conclusion:

Hypertension and prehypertension were more prevalent in WFFs compared to the US general population which suggests the need for actions for protecting against cardiovascular disease among WFFs.
