Abstract:
Objective To discuss the reasons for the difference in the results of medical checkups for cardidates enlisted in teenager aviation classes, in order to offer tips for the establishment of regional training programs and improve the qualification rate and acceptability.Methods A total of 2894 junior high school graduates as candidates for selection to teenager aviation classes in 2015 were given a double-blind medical examination.Cross-sectional survey methodology was used to compare the differences in the results of physical examinations, for candidates from seven areas.Results The qualification rate of physical checkups in the above regions were significantly different.The regional differences in the rejection rate related to ophthalmology, surgery, neurology and ultrasound were significant(P <0.05),but the regional differences in the rejection rate in internal medicine and ENT were not(P>0.05).The vision, height and relative body mass in different regions were significantly different (P<0.05)except for blood pressure test (P>0.05).Conclusion The physical differences are the results of various factors.In order to improve the passing rate of candidats, the aviation training plan for teenager aviation classes should consider the geography, climate, socio-economic environment and the physical health of local students.We should implement training programs in line with local conditions reather than use a unified national standard.
