Abstract
Objective
To provide better health management for pilots by retrospective study of the disease spectrum of China Southern pilots in 2017.
Methods
The retrospective study method was applied to estimate the detection rate of related disease of 1 826 pilots who participated in the physical examination in 2017. The detection rates of related diseases were compared among 4 age groups (20-29 yrs, 30-39 yrs, 40-49 yrs and >50 yrs).
Results
Among 1 826 pilots, the top ten diseases were hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hyperuricemia, presbyopia, gallbladder polyp, ametropia, hearing loss, obesity, vision loss and renal cysts. Among different age groups, the detection rates of hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hyperuricemia, presbyopia, gallbladder polyp, ametropia, hearing loss, obesity, vision loss, renal cysts and hypertension were significantly different (χ2 =10.456-193.402, P<0.05). And the detection rates of fatty liver, hearing loss, obesity, renal cysts and hypertension increased with age significantly.
Conclusions
The risk factors of cardiovascular disease in pilots are prominent. And the detection rates of the metabolic related diseases and the decreased audio-visual function are high in them. Controlling the body weight, uric acid and blood lipid would be critical to pilot′s health management.

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.
