To our knowledge, no studies on health conditions in U.S. military firefighters exist. Data and demographics from the Defense Medical Epidemiology Database were analyzed on several shared medical issues among military personnel and civilian firefighters. Descriptive statistics and Chi-Square goodness of fit tests were conducted to support study aims. Between 2001 and 2015, substantial incidence rate increases (per 10,000) of tinnitus, PTSD, insomnia, and OSA (2005–2015) were observed. Modest to large increases in depressive disorders, adjustment reaction, generalized anxiety disorder, and panic disorder were observed. Decreasing rates were observed for alcohol dependence, hypertension, and tobacco use disorder. While efforts have examined the impact of sustained operations on military members, first responder military subgroups like firefighters are deficient. Cognitive Behavior Therapy interventions are efficacious for preventing and reducing behavioral health problems; therefore, tailoring them specifically for U.S. military firefighters could significantly improve quality of life and long-term health.

据我们所知，没有关于美国军事消防员健康状况的研究。来自国防医学流行病学数据库的数据和人口统计数据对军事人员和民用消防员之间的几个共同医疗问题进行了分析。进行描述性统计和卡方拟合优度检验以支持研究目标。在 2001 年至 2015 年期间，观察到耳鸣、创伤后应激障碍、失眠和 OSA（2005-2015 年）的发病率显着增加（每 10,000 人）。观察到抑郁症、适应反应、广泛性焦虑症和恐慌症的适度到大量增加。观察到酒精依赖、高血压和烟草使用障碍的发病率下降。虽然努力审查了持续行动对军事成员的影响，像消防员这样的第一响应者军事小组是有缺陷的。认知行为疗法干预措施可有效预防和减少行为健康问题；因此，专门为美国军事消防员量身定制它们可以显着提高生活质量和长期健康。
