Abstract: Given the high concern for human health, the aim is to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyles and nutritional status among firefighters of the VCD Callao Ventanilla 2023. This study was conducted in four volunteer fire companies, namely B-75, B-184, B-207, B-232, located in the districts of Ventanilla and Mi Perú. The population consists of 291 personnel, with a sample of 168 participants. It was observed that 58.9% (99) of the participants are under 36 years old, 29.8% (50) are between 36 and 45 years old, and 11.3% (19) are 46 years or older. In terms of gender, 62.5% (105) are males. Regarding the duration of their firefighting service, 70.2% (118) have a maximum of 10 years of seniority. On the other hand, 57.7% (97) of the participants have an unhealthy lifestyle, 40.5% (68) have a healthy lifestyle, and 1.8% (3) have a very healthy lifestyle. Regarding the nutritional status of the firefighters in this study, it was found that 53.3% (89) are overweight, 26.8% are considered normal weight, 19.6% (33) are obese, and 0.6% (1) are underweight. Concerning lifestyles, the study revealed that 57.7% of the participants have an unhealthy lifestyle, 40.5% have a healthy lifestyle, and 1.8% (3) have a very healthy lifestyle. It is worth mentioning that according to Rodríguez C's study, 95.2% of volunteers belonging to the B107 Fire Company lead a healthy lifestyle, while 4.8% do not. Statistically, we can assert that there is no significant relationship between the variable of healthy lifestyles and nutritional status. However, it is observed that there is a direct relationship between nutritional status and age. Likewise, it can be affirmed that more than at least 72.9% of the studied population is overweight, either with overweight or obesity.
