Abstract：Objective To investigate the abnormal spectrum of medical selection of students from youth aviation schools in Northeast China and provide reference for formulating selection programs, setting the preliminary selection standards and maintaining the physical and mental health of students.Methods The data of medical selection of 2858 cadets from youth aviation schools between 2016 and 2017 in Northeast China was analyzed, the abnormal spectrum was sorted out while the percentage of elimination by different departments and regional differences were statistically analyzed.Results There were no significant differences in the rate of elimination by different departments between these provinces (P>0.05). The abnormal spectrum ranged from poor distance vision (36.48％),surgical abnormalities (5.26％) to excessive myopia (4.46％), all of which accounted for 46.20％ of the total.Conclusion The results of medical selection of students from Air Force youth aviation schools can reflect the quality and efficiency of initial selections, especially the ophthalmic testing, which can reduce the elimination rate of final selections. The vision of students during final selections is worse than that during initial selections. Health education should be reinforced among the students to remind them to protect their vision.
