Abstract：Objective To investigate the correlation between the plasma ADP(adiponectin), IL-6(interleukin-6) level changes and atherosclerosis of coronary artery in pilots.Methods Research subjects were divided into flying group which had 473 cases(group A), general group which had 200 cases(group B) and coronary heart disease group which had 54 cases(group C). Pilots were grouped by ages and flight time in group A. Differences of plasma ADP, IL-6 among groups were compared.Results The ADP level of group C was lower than that of group A; group A was lower than group B. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The IL-6 level of group C was higher than that of group A, group A was higher than that of group B. The difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The level of ADP, IL-6 in different ages and flight times had no significant difference(P>0.05); Pearson correlation analysis showed that age and flight time had no relationship to the ADP, IL-6 levels(P>0.05).ConclusionCompared group A with group B, the change of ADP, IL-6 level indicated that the pilots had higher risk of coronary heart disease than ordinary people. The ADP and IL-6 had significance meaning in preventing the coronary heart diseases for the pilots. The age of the pilots and flight time had no relationship to the plasma level of ADP, IL-6.
