Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the influencing factors of functional constipation（FC）in submariners during navigation.Methods:The clinical data of 740 submariners returning from navigation were analyzed by questionnaire. The chi-square（ χ 2）test and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to conduct univariate and multivariable analyses of factors that may influence the occurrence of FC in submariners during navigation，such as sailing time，fresh fruit and vegetable supply，water intake，years of service，education background，body mass index（BMI），seasickness，exercise frequency，and defecation assistance devices. Results:Sailing time（ χ 2=32.704， P<0.001），fresh fruit and vegetable supply（ χ 2=6.829， P<0.001），water intake（ χ 2=41.156， P<0.001），BMI（ χ 2=6.858， P=0.009），exercise frequency（ χ 2=17.701， P<0.001），and defecation assistance devices（ χ 2=6.171， P=0.013）were related factors of the occurrence of FC in submariners during navigation. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that sailing time（ OR：0.134，95% CI：0.069-0.260， P<0.001），water intake（ OR：0.121，95% CI：0.060-0.244， P<0.001），BMI（ OR：0.550，95% CI：0.384-0.788， P=0.001），exercise frequency（ OR：0.032，95% CI：0.012-0.084， P<0.001），and defecation assistance devices（ OR：0.580，95% CI：0.351-0.959， P=0.034）were independent risk factors of the occurrence of FC in submariners during navigation. Conclusion:The occurrence of FC in submariners during navigation may be related to factors such as long sailing time，low water intake，high BMI，lack of exercise，and no available defecation assistance devices.
