Abstract：ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in PLA flying personnel, and provide evidences for health education and administration.MethodsTo analyze the medical data of flying personnel and compare levels of blood pressure (BP), blood fat, blood uric acid, BMI as well as rates of hypertension, hyperlipidemia.Results ①A total of 1 171 flying personnel were selected and 1 135 cases whose data were effective were studied. They were divided into 3 groups:386 cases in normal BP group [(33.4±7.6)years old], 704 in high normal BP group [(35.0±8.3)years old], 45 in hypertension group [(44.6±7.3)years old].②The rates of smoking,increased BMI and abdominal obesity were 45.9%, 58.5% and 25.9%. The prevalence rates of hypertension,hypercholesterolemia,Hypertriglyceridemia, diabetes mellitus, Hyperuricemia were 3.97%、22.38%、25.99%、1.23% and 17.71% respectively.③Significant differences existed in the levels of age, waist circumference and fasting blood glucose between 3 groups(P<0.01). The rates of abdominal obesity of hypertension group were significantly higher than other groups(P<0.01,P<0.05). Level of BMI, rates of increased BMI and smoking of normal BP group had remarkable differences with high normal BP group and hypertension group(P<0.05).④80.65% of the flying personnel had at least one cardiovascular risk factors, the presence of cardiovascular risk factors in 3 groups had significant deviation(P<0.01 orP<0.05). ConclusionMultiple cardiovascular controllable risk factors and high prevalence existed in flying personnel. Intervention should be considered to reduce risk factors.
