The impact of nutritional and behavioral intervention on adherence to the Mediterranean diet among US firefighters.
By Dr. Priyom Bose, Ph.D.Aug 22 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM A recent JAMA Network Open study assessed the impact of nutritional and behavioral intervention on adherence to the Mediterranean diet among US firefighters.
It must be noted that only a limited number of fire departments currently have suitable nutrition, fitness, and wellness programs. However, few studies are available regarding the impact of a healthy diet on developing non-communicable diseases among firefighters. A recent cross-sectional survey revealed that many US firefighters had shown interest in the Mediterranean diet and wanted to gather more information about this diet type.
Study findings A total of 485 US career firefighters were recruited in this trial, among which 94.4% of the participants were male. The mean age of the participants was 47 years. This cohort included Black, White, and other ethnicity participants. Notably, considerable improvement in adherence to individual Mediterranean diet components was observed. For instance, significant improvement in fish consumption, nut intake, and a decrease in fast food and alcohol consumption was observed.
