Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the 40-year-old period on body composition, cardiometabolic risk factors and testosterone levels in first response teams. 55 volunteers between the ages of 24-54 who work in first response teams participated in the study. The volunteers participating in the study were divided into two groups in terms of chronological age, those under 40 (G1) and those over (G2). Method: The age of the participants was determined based on their identity information. Height and body weight were measured to calculate body mass index. Waist and hip circumferences were measured with a cuffed tape measure to determine waist-hip ratio. Body fat ratio (%) was determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and resting heart rate of the participants were measured. For biochemical analyses, blood samples were taken in the fasting state and analyzed by expert personnel in the laboratory. Fasting blood sugar, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels were analyzed to determine testosterone levels and cardiometabolic risk factors.Results: When the findings were evaluated, it was numerically observed that there was a decrease in testosterone levels, body weight, body mass index, body fat percentage, waist-hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, fasting blood sugar level, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in participants over the age of 40. Conclusion: As a result, it was determined that there was a negative numerical significant relationship between the decrease in testosterone levels and cardiometabolic risk factors.
