EXPOSURE TO DISEASE DURING GROWING AGES AND WAR SERVICE

这个项目的主要目的是考察 招募前的环境和宿主因素对健康的影响 新兵在服兵役期间的表现和生存。第二个目标 是对志愿者和应征入伍人员的随机抽样的分析 因军队体检而被拒绝。早龄化 社会经济、生态、人体测量和生物医学变量将是 用于确定拒绝几率的预测因素以及定义 新兵和整个男性人口之间的关系 军人时代。这个项目的另一个方面是开发 军事应激的测量可作为发病率和 晚年的死亡率。此类措施可以从以下两个方面制定 医疗报告和出院文件中的心理信息以及 关于暴露在战斗条件下的信息，被监禁在监狱里， 以及其他令人紧张的环境。第四项任务是分析 影响即时结果的因素(相对于晚年而言 影响)在被诱导进入联盟后发生的特定感染 军队，如感染麻疹的人的病死率 在军队里。新兵的特征与他们的 将被调查的服务运行状况记录包括等待时间 感染特定疾病；特定疾病反复发作的次数 疾病；因特定疾病而出院的可能性 疾病；以及完全避免各种疾病的可能性。 入伍期间的健康经历检查应有助于确定 在较早年龄时的某些条件或条件的组合 在服兵役期间易患特定疾病的人。是这样的 信息还将有助于确定预测因素 中老年的发病率和死亡率。

The principal aim of this project is to examine the influence of environmental and host factors prior to recruitment on the health performance and survival of recruits during military service. A second aim is the analysis of a random sample of volunteers and draftees who were rejected on the basis of an army medical examination. Early-age socioeconomic, ecological, anthropometric and biomedical variables will be used to determine predictors of the odds of rejection as well as to define the relationship between recruits and the entire male population of military age. Another aspect of this project is the development of measures of military stress as a possible predictor of morbidity and mortality at later ages. Such measures can be developed both from psychological information in medical reports and discharge papers and from information regarding exposure to battle conditions, confinement to prison, and other stress-inducing circumstances. A fourth task is the analysis of the factors affecting the immediate outcome (as opposed to late-age effects) of particular infections developed after induction into the Union Army, such as the case fatality rate of persons contracting measles while in the army. Other links between characteristics of the recruits and their service health histories that will be investigated include waiting-time to contract specific diseases; the number of repeated episodes of specific diseases; the probability of being discharged as a consequence of specific diseases; and the probability of entirely avoiding various diseases. Examination of health experiences during enlistment should serve to define certain conditions or combinations of conditions at earlier ages that made individuals prone to particular diseases during military service. Such information will also contribute to the identification of predictors of morbidity and mortality at middle and late ages.
