Abstract：Objective To investigate the characteristics of the disease spectrum of a grass-roots unit in Naval Air Force in order to provide data for specific medical support.Methods According to international disease classification standard (ICD-10), the disease patterns of a grass-roots unit in Naval Air Force between August 2015 and July 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe top six systemic diseases in a grass-roots unit of Naval Air Force were diseases with the respiratory system (20.8%), digestive system (20.2%), muscle, bones and connective tissue (12.4%), nervous system(10.8%), eye and affiliated organs (6.7%), and mastoid process (5.9%), respectively, accounting for 76.8% of the whole disease spectrum. The top five common diseases were upper respiratory infections, chronic gastritis, chronic pharyngitis, ametropia and somnipathy. There were significant differences in the constituent ratio of the respiratory system, digestive system, and nervous system respectively between different ranks (P<0.05). Further analysis indicated that there were statistical differences in the strain of lumbar muscles, tinnitus, saprodontia, periodontitis and fatty liver between different ranks (P<0.05).Conclusion Diseases in the respiratory system and digestive system are the focus of healthcare and disease prevention in grass-roots units of Naval Air Force. In order to ensure the health of officers and soldiers of Naval Air Force in grass-roots units, efforts should be made to train doctors with related knowledge of health, formulate proper prevention plans and nursing measures, and enhance the awareness of disease prevention.
