Significance of musculoskeletal and connective tissue parameters as health indicators in Federal Fire-Fighting Service officers of the State Fire-Fighting Service of the EMERCOM of Russia

Relevance . The job of Federal Fire-Fighting Service (FFS) officers the State EMERCOM Russia is among global top 10 occupations with evident risk health functional reserves depletion, prevalence early occupational diseases, injuries and even death. Traditionally, investigators focus on circulatory diseases how they affect firefighters’ health. objective to provide research-based evidence showing that musculoskeletal connective tissue parameters a reliable estimate status in Russian officers. Methodology authors analyzed research papers included Science Citation Index mostly within last years studies carried out at Nikiforov Center Emergency Radiation Medicine All-Russian Research Institute for Fire Protection Russia. Morbidity was calculated ppm (‰), industrial injury primary disability rates were estimated per 10,000 (×10 4 ), mortality (deaths) – 100,000 5 ) people. indicators dynamics based dynamic sets data applying 2 nd order polynomial trend; Pearson correlation coefficient utilized verify consistency trends. Results analysis In 2003–2015 average annual incidence rate cases labor losses (across all ICD-10 chapters diseases) (407.0 ± 30.4) ‰ which statistically significantly lower than armed forces (508.5 35.6) (p < 0.05); number lost workdays higher, i.e. (5139 402) (4174 123) respectively 0.05). Consistency case number, workdays, day/incident ratio firefighters military low negative, potentially due impact different factors rate. Assuming macrosocial are identical, organisational and/or could be key contributors losses. Rates injuries, poisoning other external impacts (chapter XIX ICD-10), as well XIII) play leading role morbidity firefighters. FFS chapter 8.5 times male population, although population cohort 2.5 more numerous. Occupational (14.66 2.01) • –4 injuries/(firefighter year) firefighter fatalities (8.53 0.83) –5 deaths/(firefighter 2006–2020 economically active working Russia: (22.73 2.8) 0.01) (13.23 1.12) 0.05) respectively. Considering work schedule firefighters, amount extreme environments 6 months; whereas level traumatism fire extinguishing elimination emergency situations 12 months should doubled, say least. employees (15.98 0.99) , reliably 0.001) aged 18–44 (25.51 1.19) On one hand, demonstrates efficient set-up protection employees, adult stays high level, hand. Conclusion Although not entirely eliminated, negative (i.e. injuries) can reduced minimal rates. Preventing onset especially traumas has huge sparing potential ensure professional longevity employees.
