Abstract:
Objective To provide theoretical evidence of pertinent convalescent rehabilitation measures for submariners and surface ship personnel with prolonged deployment through comparison and analysis of their health examination data. Methods The data of abnormal health conditions obtained from 565 submariners and surface ship personnel who stayed in the sanatorium from April, 2016 to April, 2018 were statistically summarized at the first Naval Sanatorium of Qingdao. The incidence of top 10 diseases for different age groups was investigated and those commonly-occurred diseases were analyzed and compared between the submariners and surface ship personnel. Results The rate of abnormal physical examination data was relatively higher for the afloat service personnel. The abnormal detection rate for the submarine personnel was 88. 8％, and the abnormal detection rate for surface ship personnel was 87. 0％. There was no statistical significance when comparisons were made between them. The top 10 diseases were respectively abnormal blood routine (34. 7％), hyperuricemia (28. 7％), reduced bone mineral density (27. 4％), hyperlipidemia (24. 2％), fatty liver (17. 2％), abnormal electrocardiogram (13. 8％), abnormal renal function (12. 0％), abnormal liver function (7. 3％), abnormal urinary routine (4. 1％) and gallstone (2. 1％). Of all the disorders, the rates of abnormal blood routine, reduced bone mineral density, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, abnormal electrocardiogram, abnormal liver function and gallstone were positively correlated with age. The prevalence of hyperuricemia and reduced bone mineral density in the submariners was higher than that in surface ship personnel, with statistical significance (χ2 = 6. 940, P < 0. 01; χ2 = 46. 015, P < 0. 01), while the detection rate of abnormal ECG in surface ship personnel was higher than that in the submariners, also with statistical significance (χ2 =9. 846, P<0. 01). Conclusion Prolonged deployment and shipboard working posts have significant impact on the disease spectrum of naval afloat personnel. Interventional measures should be taken accordingly to improve the health level of shipboard personnel.
