Age, inflammation, and alkaline phosphatase are associated with increased coronary artery calcification in firefighters, highlighting the need for tailored health monitoring in this high-risk occupational group.
Our study identified several risk factors associated with increased CAC score in firefighters, including age, inflammation, and alkaline phosphatase. These findings underscore the importance of tailored health monitoring and interventions to mitigate CAD risk in firefighters, considering both general and occupation-specific risk factors. This study contributes to a better understanding of the occupational health challenges faced by firefighters and provides a foundation for future research and preventive strategies in this high-risk group.
