Dynamics and structure of dismissal due to the state of health of officers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2003-2018

According to data from medical reports in form 3/MED of military units in which about 60% of the total number of officers of the Armed Forces served, the dynamics and structure of their dismissal due to health conditions in 2003-2018 were studied. The average annual dismissal rate was 7.98‰‰ and over the observation period decreased by 4.4 times - from 10.5 to 2.4‰‰. In the structure of dismissal by 25 nosologies (class groups), which accounted for 78.6% of all releases, the leading nosologies were diseases characterized by high blood pressure (I10-I15 according to ICD-10), coronary heart disease (I20-I25), and diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (K20-K31), obesity and other types of excessive nutrition (E65-E68), deforming dorsopathies (M40-M43). In total, the share of these nosologies (class groups) in the structure of all dismissals of officers amounted to 44.7%. A significant increase in the dismissal rate in 2009-2011 was identified, which coincided with the period of unpopular organizational and staff reform of the Armed Forces. Prevention, timely treatment, and rehabilitation of leading nosologies will contribute to improving health and increasing the professional longevity of officers.
