Objectives Employees of uniformed services (EoUS) were screened for cardiovascular risk factors. Material and Methods A total of 1138 EoUS (age M±SD 49.9±6.0 years) and 263 controls (age M±SD 54.4±9.7 years) under the care of the cardiology clinic in Gdańsk, Poland, were included in the study. Medical history and blood samples were collected, and a physical examination was performed. Ten-year cardiovascular risk of death was calculated using the systematic coronary risk evaluation (SCORE) risk algorithm for high-risk countries. Results Significantly higher values of mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressure, mean total cholesterol level and mean BMI were recorded among the EoUS compared to controls (M±SD 141.7±11.6 mm Hg vs. 135.5±11.0 mm Hg, p < 0.001; 90.1±5.9 mm Hg vs. 84.5±6.8 mm Hg, p < 0.001; 6.01±0.76 mmol vs. 5.44±0.87 mmol, p < 0.001; 29.3±4.7 vs. 29.0±4.1, p < 0.001, respectively). Smoking cigarettes was most frequently reported by the youngest group (20–39 years old) – 47.7% and it was significantly higher in the entire EoUS group compared to control group (35.5% vs. 16.7%, p = 0.001). The occurrence of observed risk factors (blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg, total cholesterol concentration >5 mmol, smoking,) was significantly higher among EoUS compared to controls (92.1% vs. 57.8%, p < 0.001; 89.0% vs. 66.9%, p < 0.001; 35.5% vs. 16.7%, p < 0.001, respectively). In the male group, the mean calculated ten-year risk of fatal cardiovascular events, the percentage of high calculated risk, and very high risk were higher in the EoUS group compared to controls (M±SD 4.44±3.49 vs. 4.23±3.86, p = 0.001; 23.7% vs. 20.2%, p = 0.007; 7.4% vs. 6.5%, p = 0.03, respectively). Conclusions The prevalence of all identified risk factors was found to be higher among employees of uniformed services when compared to the control group. The presence of these risk factors within the population of uniformed service employees results in a greater risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases.

Poczucie bezpieczeństwa jest jedną z głównych potrzeb człowieka. Pomimo rozwoju cywilizacyjnego i postępującej urbanizacji w XXI wieku jednostki narażone są na wiele zagrożeń, które muszą być skutecznie niwelowane przez grupy dyspozycyjne społeczeństwa polskiego i ich profesjonalnie przygotowaną do tego kadrę. Autor charakteryzuje Państwową Straż Pożarną, czyli paramilitarną formację systemu bezpieczeństwa państwa. Ukazuje jej bogatą, lecz zawiłą historię, a następnie opisuje społeczny wzór strażaka. Drugą część artykułu jest analiza badań ilościowych. Autor weryfikuje poziom satysfakcji strażaków z wykonywanej przez nich roli zawodowej.

The sense of security is one of humanityʼs main needs. Despite the development of civilization and progressing urbanization, units are exposed to many threats that must be effectively eliminated by dispositional groups of Polish society and their professionally prepared staff. The author characterizes the State Fire Service, which is a paramilitary formation of the state security system. He shows a rich but complicated history and then describes the social model of the firefighter. The second part is the analysis of quantitative research. The author verifies the level of satisfaction of firefighters based on their professional role.
