Objective To analyze the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and related influencing factors in military aircrews,and to provide reference for aviation and health support for pilots.Methods A retrospective survey was used to collect health care data on hospitalized military aircrews in the Air Force Characteristic Medical Center between 2020 and 2021.The prevalence of hyperlipidemia was compared between these patients grouped according to aircraft types,length of flight,jobs,BMI,history of alcohol consumption,history of smoking,blood pressure,age and uric acid levels,respectively.Results The prevalence of hyperlipidemia among the 926 military aircrews was as high as 17.7%.There was no significant difference in the prevalence of hyperlipidemia between aircrews for different aircraft types and jobs,But there was significant difference between aircrews with different lengths of flight(χ2=32.61,P=0.001).The prevalence of hyperlipidemia was significantly higher among aircrews with hypertension,high uric acid levels and high body mass index than in the normal group(χ2=10.13,18.82,33.59,all P=0.001).Hyperlipidemia was more common among aircrews who smoked cigarettes,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=20.58,P=0.001).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that smoking status,body mass index,blood pressure,and uric acid levels were influencing factors of hyperlipidemia(OR=3.080,1.489,3.760,1.629,P<0.001、=0.025、<0.001、=0.026).Conclusion The prevalence of hyperlipidemia is high among aircrews.Smoking,body mass index,blood pressure and uric acid levels are the influencing factors of hyperlipidemia.Aviation health support should focus on the development of healthy lifestyles among aircrews.
