Abstract
The influence of demographic factors on the prevalence of community-acquired pneumonia among military personnel, depending on the climatic and geographical conditions for 2006–2019, was studied. 266 servicemen aged 18–26 years were examined. The diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia was made on the basis of clinical and radiological data. In addition, the medical records of patients suffering from pneumonia were checked, who were diagnosed with clinical and radiological indicators, but who were not hospitalized, but were sent for outpatient treatment. It was found that new recruits are much more likely to suffer from community-acquired pneumonia (18 years — 70 (26.3%) people, 19 years — 66 (24.8%) people, 20 years — 49 (18.4%) people. At the age of 25, the incidence of pneumonia among military personnel decreases by 1.9%, and at the age of 26 — by 0.4%. At topical radiological diagnostics, there was a significant prevalence of left-sided lower lobe pneumonia. Of the 266 recruits, the frequency of hypothermia was found in 207 (90.8%) people. Repeated cases of pneumonia accounted for only 9.2%. We believe that the movement of military personnel to another climatogeographic region should be identified with an important risk factor for the development of community-acquired pneumonia. This circumstance should be taken into account when carrying out preventive measures. Thus, community-acquired pneumonia among military personnel is most common in recruits during the first 6 months of service. This is due to such risk factors as acclimatization, reduced reactivity of the body when adapting to the conditions of military service and "mixing" when forming units from recruits.
