Abstract: Objective To investigate health status of medical staff and its impacting factors so as to provide useful health guidance. Methods Health examination data from 2 hospitals in Zhejiang province were collected. The medical staff group was classified into 5 subgroups according to the departments; the control group was composed of other mental labors. The health examinations included clinical, laboratory and special testing. SPSS 11.0 software was used for data analysis. Results Compared with the control group, the morbidity rate of the medical staff group was higher, especially in those aged < 50 (χ2 = 6. 651,8. 883, and 7. 446; all P < 0.05 ). All medical staff subgroups showed significant difference in morbidity rate ( χ2 = 39. 099 ,P < 0.05 ). Hyperlipidemia,cervical erosion,and breast hyperplasia were the most common diseases found in medical staff; while the control group developed more breast hyperplasia, hyperlipidemia, and retinal arteriosclerosis. Conclusions Health status of medical staff could not be optimal. Effective health education would be needed to improve life style and relieve stress.
