Abstract:
Objective To investigate the disease spectrum of Army Aviation helicopter pilots and provide suggestions to aeromedical service. Methods Cases of 516 helicopter pilots, who were in annual physical examination, were randomly sampled and divided into 3 groups by age. Process included reviewing diagnosis history, analyzing spectrum of disease and its distribution by age, as well as the prevalence of common diseases. Rank Sum Ratio was employed for comparing the distribution of common diseases in different age group. Results ① The top 10 diseases in helicopter pilots of the Army Aviation in 2006 were fatty liver (9.88%), hyperlipidemia (6.98%), gallbladder polypus (3.49%), lumbar disc herniation(2.33%), sinus bradycardia (2.33%), gall-stone(2.13%), chronic gastritis (1.74%), kidney cyst (1.55%), calcify of liver (1.36%) and hypertension (1.16%). ② The prevalence of fatty liver in each group was respectively 2.13%, 9. 29% and 45.59%, which was at a relative higher level The prevalence of fatty liver, chronic gastritis, hyperlipidemia, gallbladder polypus, calcify of liver, hypertension and diabetes was significantly different from each age group. ③ The WR of 3 age groups was 0.7486 and it showed a good concordance of common diagnoses in each age group (χ~2=17.97, P<0.05). Conclusions ①The common diseases of helicopter pilot of Army Aviation are prevalent as common as those of Chinese Air Force pilot on the whole. Compared to more frequent prevalence in other military pilots, no nero-related diseases appeared in the top 10 of helicopter pilots. ② The prevalence of fatty liver and hyperlipidemia increases rapidly with age. The accumulative effect of nosogenesis may exist and result in the diseases of lumber, back, neck and shoulder. ③ Rank Sum Ratio is an effective indication for comparing the concordance of common diagnoses in different group.
