背景:在军队服役的妇女人数迅速增加。没有以前的研究直接比较他们的健康状况的civilies.Purpose:提供估计的几个领先的美国健康指标的军事服务状态among women.Methods:数据来自2010年行为风险因素监测调查,美国人口为基础的研究。采用多变量logistic回归分析,对女性受试者(274,399名平民,4221名退伍军人,661名现役军人和995名国民警卫队或预备役[NG/R])的军事状态进行健康结果比较。结果:退伍军人总体健康状况较差,健康危险行为、心理健康状况和慢性健康状况的发生率高于平民女性。现役妇女报告更好地获得医疗保健,更好的身体健康,更少的健康风险行为的参与,以及更大的可能性,有一个最近的巴氏涂片比平民妇女。妇女从NG/R平民在大多数健康领域,虽然他们有更大的可能性超重或肥胖,并报告抑郁症和焦虑disorder.Conclusions:与平民妇女相比,NG/R妇女评价他们的健康和获得医疗保健类似和现役妇女评价他们更好的几个领域,但退伍军人一贯健康状况较差。(Am J Prev Med 2012;42(5):473-480)由Elsevier Inc.美国预防医学杂志(American Journal of Preventive Medicine)
Background: Women who have served in the military are a rapidly growing population. No previous studies have compared directly their health status to that of civilians.Purpose: To provide estimates of several leading U.S. health indicators by military service status among women.Methods: Data were obtained from the 2010 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, a U.S. population-based study. Health outcomes were compared by military status using multivariable logistic regression among the female participants (274,399 civilians, 4221 veterans, 661 active duty, and 995 National Guard or Reserves [NG/R]). Data were analyzed in August 2011.Results: Veterans reported poorer general health and greater incidence of health risk behaviors, mental health conditions, and chronic health conditions than civilian women. Active duty women reported better access to health care, better physical health, less engagement in health risk behaviors, and greater likelihood of having had a recent Pap than civilian women. Women from the NG/R were comparable to civilians across most health domains, although they had a greater likelihood of being overweight or obese and reporting a depressive and anxiety disorder.Conclusions: Compared with civilian women, NG/R women rated their health and access to health care similarly and active duty women rated theirs better on several domains, but veterans consistently reported poorer health.
