Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of abnormal blood lipid related diseases in the civil aviation personnel in northwest of China from 2009 to 2013,to analyze the tendency of blood lipid variation and to put forward the corresponding prevention measures and suggestions.Methods The number of pilots,stewards and security guards from northwest of China,who were diagnosed with obesity,formation of coronary atherosclerotic plaque,fatty liver,hypertriglyceridemia,hypercholesterolemia and high low-density lipoproteinemia in the medical examinations from 2009 to 2013 was counted up.The prevalence of these diseases was respectively calculated and statistically analyzed by Chi square test.Results During 5 years the prevalence of fatty liver in the aviation personnel from northwest of China showed significant difference (x2 =37.393,P ＜ 0.01).The differences of prevalence of coronary atherosclerotic plaque formation and obesity were not statistically significant.The prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia,hypercholesterolemia and high low-density lipoproteinemia increased significantly,and the yearly prevalence showed statistical difference (x2=13.396-81.135,P＜0.01).Conclusions From 2009 to 2013,the prevalence of hyperlipidemia,especially for high low-density lipoproteinemia in the civil aircrews from northwest of China was increased year by year.High blood lipid level might result in marked increases of fatty liver and other related diseases.Control of the blood lipid level and prevention of the incidence of related diseases for the aircrews should be strengthened.
