Abstract
Objective
To screen risk factors of asymptomatic colorectal polyps in flying personnel and to provide reference for diagnosing colorectal polyps.
Methods
A case-control study design was applied. One hundred and forty flying personnel who were had colonoscopy examination in our center from January 2014 to October 2018 were included. Cases with polyps were assigned as polyps group while others were assigned as control group. The clinic data of all cases were collected, such as age, height, weight, history of smoking, family history of malignant tumors of digestive tract in first-degree relatives, flying hours, cholesterol level, triglyceride level, blood glucose level, and the results of abdominal ultrasonography and colonoscopy examinations. The differences on indicators were compared between two groups by univariate analysis. The binary unconditional logistic regression models were used to analyze the risk factors of asymptomatic colorectal polyps in flying personnel.
Results
①In 140 enrolled cases, 49 were assigned to polyps group and 91 to control group. The detection rate of polyps was 35.0%. ②Univariate analysis of data showed that two groups had statistical differences on age, body mass index, smoking history, family history of gastrointestinal cancer, flying hours, cholesterol levels, triglyceride levels, positive with fatty liver and positive with gallbladder changes (P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in the fasting blood glucose between two groups. ③Logistic regression analysis showed that age and triglyceride level were the independent risk factors for colorectal polyps. The regression coefficient was 1.726 and 1.419, respectively.
Conclusions
Age and triglycerides level are independent risk factors for asymptomatic colorectal polyps in flying personnel. Increased body mass index, long-term smoking history, positive family history of gastrointestinal cancer, long flying hours, high cholesterol level, and positive with fatty liver or gallbladder disease may be the predictors of asymptomatic colorectal polyps in flying personnel.

期刊介绍:
The aim of Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine is to combine theory and practice, improve and popularize, actively advocate a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend, advocate seeking truth from facts, promote the development of the related disciplines of aerospace medicine and human efficiency, and promote the exchange and penetration of aerospace medicine and human efficiency with other biomedical and engineering specialties.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Aerospace Medicine include:
-The content of the journal belongs to the discipline of special medicine and military medicine, with the characteristics of multidisciplinary synthesis and cross-penetration, and mainly reflected in the aerospace industry, aerospace flight safety and efficiency, as well as the synthesis of special medicine, preventive medicine, environmental medicine, psychology, etc.
-Military aeromedicine (Air Force, Navy and Army aeromedicine) and civil aeromedicine, with a balance of aerospace medicine are the strengths of the journal.
-The change in aerospace medicine from a focus on promoting physiological compensatory adaptations to enhancing human performance under extreme environmental conditions is what the journal is helping to promote.
-The expansion of manuscripts in high altitude medicine is also a special emphasis of the journal.
