Основные показатели состояния здоровья офицеров Вооруженных сил Российской Федерации в 2003-2014 гг

Abstract

Relevance. The extreme conditions of military operations pose a risk of acute or chronic health disorders or even death. The Russian Science Citation Index indexed 584 domestic scientific papers on various aspects of health status in servicemen within 10 years (2006-2015). A detailed analysis of health status in officers of the Armed Forces (AF) of Russia over a long period was not performed. Intention. To analyze health indicators and mortality in the Russian Armed Forces (AF) officers over 2003-2014. Methods. The object of the research were reports about the health of the personnel and activities of the medical service (Form 3/MED) in military units from different military districts and troops, with about 60 % of the total number of AF officers. The analysis of morbidity, dismissal and mortality in AF officers over 2003-2014 is provided by classes of diseases and causes of death (International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems, X revision (ICD-10)). Results and Discussion. Marked increase in the primary disease incidence was reported: annual incidence was (414.8 ± 20.4) %o. According to the annual follow-up, (120.5 ± 4.7) %o of officers required regular follow-up. The number of health-related dismissals reduced: (9.47 ±1.16) %o annually. Annual mortality rates significantly decreased to (1.29 ± 0.06) %o annually. As expected, compared with the civilian population of working age in Russia the officers mainly died due to external causes (XX class). Therefore, AF officers performed their activity under extreme conditions. General health of officers depended on the diseases of circulatory system (class IX), digestive system (class XI), injuries, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (class XIX), respiratory diseases (class X), nervous system (class VI) , the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (class XIII). These 6 classes of diseases accounted for 79 % of total abnormal health indicators. Conclusion. Focusing on prevention of these diseases classes will improve health of the Russian AF officers.
