Malnutrition is a public health problem in Panama. In firefighters, malnutrition has serious health implications. We aim to evaluate the nutritional status, eating habits, and cardiovascular risk of units of the Fire Department of the West Panama Region in Panama. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from March to December 2022. For the collection of eating habits, a food frequency questionnaire was used. Weight, height, and waist circumference were used for the nutritional status evaluation. Cardiovascular risk was estimated from the waist-height ratio (WHtR). 100 participants (79% are men) aged between 18 and 60 years were evaluated. Excess weight was observed in 88%, and obesity in 58%. Cardiovascular risk by WHtR was presented in 51%, 39.2% of males, and 95% of females (p= 0.000). 97% consume fried foods and 94% consume sugary drinks. Only 20% and 16% consume vegetables and fruits daily. A high proportion of excess weight, obesity, abdominal obesity, and cardiovascular risk among the evaluated firefighters was observed. Low consumption of fruits and vegetables along with a high consumption of sugary drinks and fried foods. It is necessary to implement obesity prevention and control programs, as well as provide food and nutrition education to address these health problems.

“…Nutritional status in adults is typically assessed using the body mass index (BMI), calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared (Kg/m²). Classification based on BMI is as follows: underweight (BMI < 18.5), normal weight (BMI 18.5-24.99), overweight (BMI 25.00 -29.99), and obesity, further classified as class I (BMI: 30.00-34.99), class II (BMI: 35.00-39.99), and class III (BMI ≥ 40.00) [27][28][29].…”

Given the high concern for human health, the aim is to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyles and nutritional status among firefighters of the VCD Callao Ventanilla 2023. This study was conducted in four volunteer fire companies, namely B-75, B-184, B-207, B-232, located in the districts of Ventanilla and Mi Perú. The population consists of 291 personnel, with a sample of 168 participants. It was observed that 58.9% (99) of the participants are under 36 years old, 29.8% (50) are between 36 and 45 years old, and 11.3% (19) are 46 years or older. In terms of gender, 62.5% (105) are males. Regarding the duration of their firefighting service, 70.2% (118) have a maximum of 10 years of seniority. On the other hand, 57.7% (97) of the participants have an unhealthy lifestyle, 40.5% (68) have a healthy lifestyle, and 1.8% (3) have a very healthy lifestyle. Regarding the nutritional status of the firefighters in this study, it was found that 53.3% (89) are overweight, 26.8% are considered normal weight, 19.6% (33) are obese, and 0.6% (1) are underweight. Concerning lifestyles, the study revealed that 57.7% of the participants have an unhealthy lifestyle, 40.5% have a healthy lifestyle, and 1.8% ( 3) have a very healthy lifestyle. It is worth mentioning that according to Rodríguez C's study, 95.2% of volunteers belonging to the B107 Fire Company lead a healthy lifestyle, while 4.8% do not. Statistically, we can assert that there is no significant relationship between the variable of healthy lifestyles and nutritional status. However, it is observed that there is a direct relationship between nutritional status and age. Likewise, it can be affirmed that more than at least 72.9% of the studied population is overweight, either with overweight or obesity.

“…(1,2,3,4,5,6) Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son las principales causas de mortalidad y morbilidad mundial, esto podría reducirse mediante un cambio en el estilo de vida. (7,8,9) En las actividades de los bomberos aumentan el riesgo de sufrir eventos cardíacos repentinos, (3,4,5,10,11) se informa que las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) representó el 51 % de las muertes en 2015 y el 42 % en los últimos 10 años en Bomberos en Estados Unidos. (12) Los factores de riesgo cardiovascular clásicos o convencionales se dividen en dos grandes categorías: no modificables (edad, sexo y antecedentes familiares) y modificables (dislipidemia, tabaquismo, diabetes, hipertensión arterial, obesidad y sedentarismo).…”

Introduction: cardiovascular diseases are the leading causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide, this could be reduced by a change in lifestyle. In firefighter activities increase the risk of sudden cardiac events. Objective: to determine the cardiovascular risk according to the Framingham scale, dietary habits and nutritional status of volunteer firefighters in Capital in the period between June and September 2023. Materials and Methods: quantitative, descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, cross-sectional study based on a questionnaire with open-ended questions about dietary habits and a Framingham study that assesses cardiovascular risk at 10 years by means of scores. Results: of the 100 % of those surveyed, only 24,29 % had an adequate nutritional status according to BMI and 75,71 % presented malnutrition due to excess (overweight and obesity), while poor eating habits and excessive consumption of sugary drinks were observed; most of the sample presented a low cardiovascular risk according to the Framingham Heart Study calculator.Conclusion: most of the firefighters evaluated presented excess body weight, which leads to a negative relationship between eating habits and nutritional status and may present a risk of heart disease.
