Objective: To clarify physical and psychological health state and potential medical need of Chinese navy. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in the total of 438 personnel of two fleets in different latitudes in China by self-reported questionnaire. The physical and psychological states were investigated and the potential medical needs were explored.Results: The top was muscle and skeletal system disease, affecting to 59% of the population, followed by respiratory disease, skin disease, oral disease, et al. The frequency of oral disease increased gradually, with the first peak at 26-30 years old. Ophthalmic and Ear-nose-throat diseases increased rapidly over 40 years old. The frequencies of above diseases were higher in submarine of Fleet B than that of Fleet A (P<0.05). In Fleet A, the frequencies of influenza and diarrhea in submarine were higher than those in surface fleet (P<0.001). The corps with low psychological self-evaluation suffered more diseases than those with high evaluation (P=0.04). Conclusions: Fleets in different latitudes exhibited different disease frequencies. Submarine force was more susceptible to infectious disease than surface fleet possibly due to the closed environment. High effective medical care should be given according to the age threshold of 25 and 40.

A review of the physiological and psychological health and wellbeing of naval service personnel and the modalities used for monitoring

Naval cohorts rely heavily on personnel to ensure the efficient running of naval organisations. As such, the wellbeing of personnel is essential. In an occupational setting, naval service personnel experience a variety of physiological and psychological stressors. Most naval services arrange annual physical fitness and body composition tests to ensure the physical readiness of personnel. However, these tests only evaluate a small amount of physiological capabilities. Components such as aerobic and strength capabilities are assessed, however, other components of physical fitness such as speed, agility, anaerobic capacity and flexibility are not. In addition to the physical capabilities, personnel are impacted by fatigue, nutrition and psychological stressors such as copping in stressful situations or dealing with time away from family and friends. This review will discuss the physiological and psychological factors that affect personnel’s wellbeing. In addition to this, it will also evaluate the methods that are used to assess both physiological and psychological wellbeing.

“…Nutrition has an important impact on soft tissue injury risk and recovery (Baar, 2015;Jones, 2016;Tassone et al, 2017). Enduring a physical load as a part of military training induces energy expenditure, nutrition status changes, body composition changes and biochemical changes (Liberman et al, 2008;Yael et al, 2008;Fallowfield et al, 2014;Naghii et al, 2006;Sammito et al, 2016). Military service quality is related to military personnel physical and psychosocial fitness, which is determined both by personal and occupational risk factors at the service place.…”

Physical fitness, health, and physical endurance are important attributes of persons in military. The purpose of the present study was to assess the changes of anthropometric parameters and of biochemical markers in blood serum for participants of a one-week combat training course (CTC) during which participants had high physical and psychological loads in combination with dietary limitation and sleep deprivation. High physical and psychological loads cause changes in the level of biochemical markers that are indicative of musculoskeletal system dysfunction. The study group included participants (n = 59) of both genders aged 23 to 30 years. Anthropometric parameters (body mass, height, body mass index) were determined. Blood plasma analyses were done before and directly after CTC. Biomarkers like lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine phosphokinase (CPK), alanine amino transferase (ALT) and aspartate amino transferase (AST) were measured. Data were analysed by using SPSS 20. We determined levels of anthropometric parameters before, during and after a combat training course. The body mass decreased during the one-week training course, until the sixth day of combat training course, when the peak of physical and emotional stress was reached. The level of biomarkers lactate dehydrogenase and creatine phosphokinase sharply increased after the combat training course. A high physical load caused changes in biochemical markers, indicating musculoskeletal dysfunction in healthy young persons. The study underlines the importance of checking the health status of military personnel before and after exercises with high physical and psychological loads in order to prevent major health disorders in the combat environment.
