and on-duty mortality among fire-fighters. This study investigated
the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factors among
firefighters in Cape Town, South Africa.A quantitative, cross-sectional and correlational study
design was used. A convenient sample of 219 male fire-fighters with
mean age 37.85±9.80 years was recruited. Eight major CAD risk factors
were assessed using standard techniques. SPSS (ver. 23) was used with
the Pearson correlation and Kruskall-Wallis H test with the MannWhitney test post hoc and a Bonferroni correction. The significance level
set at p<0.05. | en_US |
