Abstract
Objective
To investigate the application of EZSCAN to assess the diabetes risk for pilots.
Methods
Data of the people examined in Air Force General Hospital were retrospectively studied. The diabetes cases were screened out. Eighty seven pilots who were without diabetes were selected as pilots group. Control group included 49 normal people. The EZSCAN test results, as well as blood sugar, lipid and blood uric acid of 2 groups were compared.
Results
The diabetes risk detected by EZSCAN had significant difference between pilots group and control group (χ2=17.171, P<0.01). Diabetes risk in control group was higher than that in pilots group (χ2=15.374, P<0.01). Triglyceride level in non-diabetes risk pilots was lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Blood uric acid in high diabetes risk pilots was lower than that in control group (P<0.01). Age were significantly correlated with the detection of diabetes risk in pilots group (F=10.935, P<0.01). The risk of having diabetes was increased with age.
Conclusions
EZSCAN system could be used in the diabetes risk assessment for pilots and has certain effect on pilot′s health assessment.
