Resumo
Os bombeiros são um grupo populacional que está sujeito a stress e pior qualidade do sono decorrentes da sua atividade profissional. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a relação entre o estado ponderal com a saúde do sono, atividade física, perceção do consumo alimentar ou dietético e o stress entre os bombeiros. Este estudo piloto transversal decorreu durante o mês de maio de 2022. Para recolha de dados foi desenvolvido um questionário online de aplicação direta GoogleForms® e partilhado através das redes sociais. Participaram neste estudo 30 bombeiros sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (60,0%), com mais de 40 anos (56,7%), com residência em Lisboa (90,0%). A maioria dos participantes tinha excesso de peso (63,3%), caminhavam 4 dias por semana cerca de 30 minutos, e passavam cerca de 4 horas em atividades sedentárias. A mediana da pontuação da saúde do sono foi 18 em 30 pontos. O estado ponderal apenas estava correlacionado de forma positiva com a idade. Estes resultados apontam para uma possível necessidade do desenvolvimento de programas de saúde dirigidos aos bombeiros de modo a melhorarem os seus estilos de vida e saúde ocupacional, sendo necessária a realização de mais estudos com uma amostra de maior dimensão. Palavras-chave: estado ponderal; sono; atividade física; consumo; bombeiros Firefighters are a population group that is subject to stress and poorer sleep quality due to their professional activity. The aim of this cross-sectional pilot study was to explore the relationship between weight status and sleep health, physical activity, perception of dietary consumption, and stress among firefighters. The study was conducted in May 2022. An online questionnaire was developed using Google Forms® and shared through social media for data collection. A total of 30 firefighters participated in the study, with the majority being male (60.0%), over 40 years of age (56.7%), and residing in Lisbon (90.0%). The majority of participants were overweight (63.3%), walked for 4 days per week for about 30 minutes, and spent approximately 4 hours in sedentary activities. The median score for sleep health was 18 out of 30 points. Weight status was only positively correlated with age. These results suggest a possible need for the development of health programs targeting firefighters to improve their lifestyles and occupational health, with further studies needed with a larger sample size.
