Relación entre la Composición Corporal, Condición Física y Capacidad Operativa en Militares Chilenos / Relationship Between Body Composition, Physical Condition and Operational Capacity in Chilean Military

La composición corporal engloba una serie de variables relacionadas con la salud e influye en la condición física. A pesar de ello, existe poca evidencia sobre sus efectos en la capacidad operativa en militares. El objetivo de este estudio fue relacionar la composición corporal, la condición física y la capacidad operativa de militares chilenos. Participaron 57 militares chilenos (26,9 ± 4,8 años), con especialización operativa en infantería. La composición corporal fue evaluada con bioimpedancia octopolar estimando masa libre de grasa, tejido muscular y tejido adiposo, entre otras variables. También se realizaron las siguientes pruebas de condición física: 5000 m planos, dominadas, abdominales y flexibilidad, así como cuatro pruebas específicas de actividades operativas militares específicas (situación de combate simulado). Los resultados mostraron un porcentaje de tejido muscular de 45,4 ± 2,9 % (IC95%: 44,6 - 46,2), mientras que el porcentaje de tejido adiposo fue de 20,3 ± 4,9 % (IC95%: 14,7 - 17,3). Se encontraron correlaciones negativas de pequeña magnitud entre el tiempo de carrera (5000 m) y el tejido muscular (%) (r = -0,275) y positiva con el tejido adiposo (%) (r = 0,294). Sin embargo, se observaron correlaciones de alta magnitud entre dominadas y tejido muscular (%) (r = 0,517) y tejido adiposo (%) (r = -0,558). El tejido adiposo se relacionó negativamente con la capacidad aeróbica, fuerza de brazos(??) y fuerza resistencia abdominal, mientras que el tejido muscular se relacionó positivamente con estas mismas variables. No se apreciaron correlaciones entre la composición corporal y la capacidad operativa militar (p<0,05). Se concluye que la composición corporal y la condición física no se relacionan con la capacidad operativa militar en situación de combate en especialistas en infantería, pero si la composición corporal se relaciona con la fuerza y la capacidad cardiorrespiratoria.

SUMMARY: Body composition encompasses a series of variables that are health-related and influence physical condition. Nevertheless, there is little evidence on its effects on the operational capacity of the military. The objective of this study was to relate the body composition, the physical condition and the operational capacity of the Chilean military. Fifty-seven Chilean soldiers (26.9 ± 4.8 years) participated, with operational specialization in infantry. Body composition was evaluated with octopolar bioimpedance, estimating fat- free mass, muscle tissue, and adipose tissue, among other variables. The following physical condition tests were also carried out: 5000 m flat, pull-ups, abdominals and flexibility, as well as four specific tests of specific military operational activities (simulated combat situation). The results showed a percentage of muscle tissue of 45.4 ± 2.9 % (95%CI: 44.6 - 46.2), while the percentage of adipose tissue was 20.3 ± 4.9 % (95%CI). : 14.7-17.3). Negative correlations of small magnitude were found between race time (5000 m) and muscle tissue (%) (r = -0.275) and positive with adipose tissue (%) (r = 0.294). However, high magnitude correlations were observed between pull-ups and muscle tissue (%) (r = 0.517) and adipose tissue (%) (r = -0.558). Adipose tissue was negatively related to aerobic capacity, arm strength, and abdominal endurance strength, while muscle tissue was positively related to these same variables. No correlations were found between body composition and military operational capacity (p<0.05). It is concluded that body composition and physical condition are not related to military operational capacity in combat situations in infantry specialists, but body composition is related to strength and cardiorespiratory capacity.

Morphological characteristics and pulmonary function of naval saboteurs and ground special forces of the armed forces of Montenegro / Características morfológicas y función pulmonar de saboteadores navales y fuerzas especiales terrestres de las fuerzas armadas de Montenegro

SUMMARY: The results of numerous medical and kinesiological studies indicate the existence of differences in pulmonary function in relation to age, body height, and the relationship between certain parameters of body composition. The aim of this study was to determine the state of morphological characteristics and pulmonary function of naval saboteurs and ground Special Forces of the Armed Forces of Montenegro. The sample of participants included 30 naval saboteurs aged 30.3±6 years and 30 members of the ground special forces aged 25.6±5 years. The sample of measuring instruments included 4 indicators each for the evaluation of longitudinal dimensionality, transversal dimensionality, mass and body volume, subcutaneous fat, body composition, and pulmonary function. The central and dispersion parameters of the variables were calculated. The specificities of body composition of the naval saboteurs and members of the ground Special Forces of the AF of Montenegro were determined, while the parameters of lung volume and capacity and the parameters of airway flow indicated an excellent state of their respiratory function. Furthermore, it was determined that the studied members of the armed forces had no individual health risks in the sense of the onset of obesity or obstructive ventilatory defects. The results obtained indicate the need for further studies which would predominantly focus on the impact of individual morphological measurements and parameters of body composition on pulmonary function. This would provide important data both for the armed forces in the sense of improving the training system and the realization of specific tasks, as well as for kinesiology as a science from the aspect of determining certain regularities in the functioning of the human body in specific living and working conditions in the armed forces.

Los resultados de numerosos estudios médicos y kinesiológicos indican la existencia de diferencias en la función pulmonar en relación con la edad, la altura corporal y la relación entre determinados parámetros de la composición corporal. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el estado de las características morfológicas y la función pulmonar de los saboteadores navales y de las Fuerzas Especiales terrestres de las Fuerzas Armadas de Montenegro. La muestra de participantes incluyó a 30 saboteadores navales de 30,3±6 años de edad y 30 miembros de las fuerzas especiales terrestres de 25,6±5 años. La muestra de instrumentos de medición incluyó 4 indicadores cada uno para la evaluación de dimensionalidad longitudinal, dimensionalidad transversal, masa y volumen corporal, grasa subcutánea, composición corporal y función pulmonar. Se calcularon los parámetros centrales y de dispersión de las variables. Se determinaron las especificidades de la composición corporal de los saboteadores navales y miembros de las Fuerzas Especiales terrestres de la FA de Montenegro, mientras que los parámetros de volumen y capacidad pulmonar y los parámetros de flujo de las vías respiratorias indicaron un excelente estado de su función respiratoria. Además, se determinó que los miembros de las fuerzas armadas estudiados no tenían riesgos individuales de salud en el sentido de la obesidad o defectos ventilatorios obstructivos. Los resultados obtenidos indican la necesidad de más estudios que se centren predominantemente en el impacto de las medidas morfológicas individuales y los parámetros de composición corporal en la función pulmonar. Esto proporcionaría datos importantes tanto para las fuerzas armadas en el sentido de mejorar el sistema de entrenamiento y la realización de tareas específicas, como para la kinesiología como ciencia desde el aspecto de determinar ciertas regularidades en el funcionamiento del cuerpo humano en situaciones específicas de vida. y condiciones de trabajo en las fuerzas armadas.

DESTRUCTIVE DESIGN OF THE PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL PORTRAIT AND THE IMMORALITY OF THE ACTIONS OF THE RUSSIAN MILITARY ON THE TERRITORY OF UKRAINE

The article re?ects aspects of the destructive design of the psycho-physiological portrait of the soldiers- occupiers who committed acts of violence and rape of women and children in the occupied territories of Ukraine. We believe that this problem is relevant and requires comprehensive coverage and research by modern philosophers, historians and sociologists. It is shown that during the war, the military has two kinds of feelings. The ?rst are the highest patriotic feelings and human qualities that help to endure the hardships of wartime. The second feelings are the lowest, immoral, inhuman qualities of a person. The article attempts to understand why this happens. Pushing Russian soldiers during the ?ghting to go beyond morality and commit crimes against civilians. The purpose of this article is to analyze the destructive processes that destroy the humanity and morality of a person, and in the course of hostilities lead to a state of complete devaluation of the life of the civilian population in the occupied territories. The attention is focused on the rape of women and children by the Russian military in the occupied territories of Ukraine. The immorality of the behavior of the Russian military in relation to the civilian population and a number of destructive processes that affect the worldview of the soldier-occupier of the Russian Federation is shown. The testimonies of women who survived the horrors of violence and revelry of Putin's soldiers and managed to escape are given. The conclusions drawn made it possible to highlight aspects of the destructive design of the psycho-physiological portrait of the occupying soldiers who committed acts of rape of women and children, and it was proved that the army, which does not have moral standards, commits crimes against the civilian population, because it understands that it can avoid this punishment. Scienti?c novelty consists in determining the aspects of destructive processes that affect the worldview of the occupying warrior from the Russian Federation.

SUMMARY: Electrical bioimpedance (BIA), being a non- invasive technique but with high precision, has become a valuable tool for determining body composition in the military, facilitating the control of the different variables associated with each specialty. The aim of the present study was to describe the body composition profile of elite military personnel at the end of a specialization course. Eleven military personnel between 22 and 29 years of age participated in the study. Body composition was assessed by BIA immediately after completion of a specialization course for elite military personnel. Assessments in the military on body composition variables through BIA showed: body weight of 84.3 ± 4.52 kg, height 1.78 ± 0.06 m, body mass index (BMI) 26.5 ± 1.09, adipose tissue of 13.7 ± 3.65 %, muscle tissue 49.5 ± 2.34 %, fat free mass 72.7 ± 5.23 kg and 53.2 ± 3.78 l of total body water. Conclusions: Elite military personnel presented high levels of fat free mass, muscle tissue and low levels of adipose tissue which favors the development of specialized military activities and decreases the risk of injury. The data collected here serve as a frame of reference for future studies.

Anatomic variations of the hip joint in soldiers of different ages / Variaciones anatómicas de la articulación coxal en soldados de diferentes edades

SUMMARY: Anatomic variations in hip joint are one of the risk factors for the occurrence of osteoarthritis of that part of locomotor system. Due to different age structure and a special way of conducting physical activity in the army, it is justified to presume the presence of even other risk factors which relate to the aging process, carrying of oversize weight and performing higher amplitudes of movement under load. The objective of the study related to determining the existence of eventual anatomic variations in the hip joint in soldiers of different age. This cross-sectional study covers 240 soldiers of Montenegro Army, divided into 8 age groups. Gathered data for morphological measures hip width and hip circumference were processed using the basic statistics, multivariate and univariate of variance and Tukey's Honestly Significant Difference test-HSD. The differences were considered statistically significant for p≤0.05. It was determined that for both morphological measures there are differences between soldiers of certain age. This is confirmed also by drastic deviations between certain age groups obtained for the defined level of statistical significance. The most pronounced is the detection of the annual increase of hip width of soldiers which is higher for 0.38 mm compared to general population. Based on the obtained results the existence of anatomic variations in soldiers' hip joints is stated. The confirmed anatomic changes in conjunction with other risk factors may lead to hip osteoarthritis, i.e to soldiers' health condition impairment. It is necessary to conduct longitudinal studies on the same examinees with precise diagnostics.

RESUMEN: Las variaciones anatómicas en la articulación coxal son uno de los factores de riesgo de la osteoartritis de esa zona del sistema locomotor. Debido a la diferente estructura respecto a la de edad y una forma especial de realizar la actividad física en el ejército, se justifica presumir la presencia de otros factores de riesgo que se relacionan con el proceso de envejecimiento, el transporte de peso sobredimensionado y la realización de mayores amplitudes de movimiento bajo carga. El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la existencia de eventuales variaciones anatómicas en la articulación coxal en soldados de diferentes edades. Este estudio transversal incluyó 240 soldados del Ejército de Montenegro, divididos en 8 grupos de edad. Los datos recopilados para las medidas morfológicas del ancho y la circunferencia de la articulación coxal se procesaron utilizando las estadísticas básicas, la varianza multivariada y univariada y la prueba HSD de diferencia significativa de Tukey. Las diferencias fueron consideradas estadísticamente significativas para p≤0,05. Se determinó que para ambas medidas morfológicas existen diferencias entre soldados de cierta edad. Esto fue confirmado también por las desviaciones drásticas entre ciertos grupos de edad obtenidos para el nivel definido de significación estadística. El más pronunciado es la detección del aumento anual del ancho de cadera de los soldados, que es superior en 0,38 mm en comparación con la población general. En base a los resultados obtenidos se afirma la existencia de variaciones anatómicas en las articulaciones coxales de los soldados. Los cambios anatómicos confirmados junto con otros factores de riesgo pueden conducir a la osteoartritis de cadera, es decir, al deterioro del estado de salud de los soldados. Es necesario realizar estudios longitudinales en los mismos examinados con diagnósticos precisos.

Study on the relation between the common diseases and the constitution of Traditional Chinese Medicine of plateau-related soldiers / 国际中医中药杂志

Objective:To investigate the common diseases and the Constitution of Traditional Chinese Medicine of plateau-related soldiers, and explore the correlation between them.Methods:A total of 271 plateau-related soldiers in our sanatorium from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were selected as the subjects. All of them were assessed by the TCM constitution scale and the self-designed disease questionnaire and Sociodemographic information.Results:Eighty two percent of 271 plateau-related soldiers were regarded as paranoid constitution and 17.7% were gentleness type. There 73.1% of plateau-related soldiers had one or more diseases, and 90.9% of them were paranoid constitution. There were 47 cases of respiratory diseases, including 2 cases of gentleness type (4.3%) and 45 cases of paranoid constitution (95.7%); 53 cases of digestive system diseases, including 1 case of gentleness type (1.9%) and 52 cases of paranoid constitution (98.1%); 27 cases of skin diseases, including 1 case of gentleness type (3.7%) and 26 cases of paranoid constitution (96.3%); 148 cases of musculoskeletal diseases, including 15 cases of gentleness type (10.1%) and 133 cases of paranoid constitution (89.9%). The digestive system diseases with the highest proportion of paranoid constitution were selected for TCM Constitution correlation analysis, suggesting that there was a correlation between them( χ2=11.32, P<0.01). People including Qi deficiency and phlegm-dampness were more prone to digestive system diseases ( P<0.01). There was a significant negative correlation between gentleness type and digestive system diseases [ OR=0.17, 95% CI(0.040-0.726); P=0.017], as well as Qi deficiency [ OR=4.98, 95% CI(2.717-9.120)] and phlegm-dampness [ OR=12.00, 95% CI(5.269-27.332)]were risk factors for them ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The overall health level of plateau-related soldiers was not optimistic. The digestive system diseases of them were positively correlated with Qi deficiency and phlegm-dampness.

Some natural focus diseases-induced kidney injury / 解放军医学杂志

Officers and soldiers of the army are one of the populations with high incidence of natural focus diseases since they should enter or contact with the natural foci due to military actions and training, and thereby gets infection even leads to the epidemic of natural focus diseases. The natural focus diseases include epidemic hemorrhagic fever, schistosomiasis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, and malaria, etc., and possess the complex and changeable characteristics in epidemic regularity and clinical manifestation. Kidney is the easily vulnerable organ by natural focus diseases. Early definite diagnosis and active and effective treatment is the key to reduce the mortality and progress of natural epidemic-related renal injury to end-stage kidney disease. The present paper mainly introduces the clinical, pathological manifestations and prevention and treatment of renal injury caused by natural focus diseases (epidemic hemorrhagic fever, schistosomiasis, leptospirosis, malaria, Lyme disease), in order to improve the understanding of diagnosis and treatment of natural focus diseases-related kidney injury.

Study of anemia among adolescent school girls and young adults

Background: The world’s adolescent population (age 10–19 years) is estimated to stand at more than 1 Billion, yet adolescents remain largely neglected, difficult-to-measure, and hard-to-reach. Population in which the needs of adolescent girls, in particular, are often ignored. Anemia during adolescence limits growth and delays the onset of menarche, which in turn may later lead to cephalopelvic disproportion. In armed forces young serving soldiers make the backbone of forces, anemia in this group affects man hour badly. So, study was planned to assess prevalence of anemia in these two groups.Methods: A prospective study was carried out with 340 girls and 500 serving adults and prevalence of anemia was carried out with respect to different prevailing factors.Results: The prevalence of severe, moderate and mild anemia in girls was 0.5%, 10.6% and 27.9% respectively and in serving soldiers prevalence of anemia was 1.8%, 2.8% and 3.4 % respectively.Conclusions: In the present study, the prevalence of anemia was found to be 39% in adolescent girls and 8% in serving soldiers. Strongest predictor to anemia in adolescent girls was history of excessive menstrual bleeding and vegetarian diet. Age group, age at menarche and BMI did not affect anemia prevalence. Strongest predictor to anemia in soldiers was age.

Profile of pulmonary embolism in service personnel posted at high altitude area

Background We evaluated the clinical presentation and risk factors of pulmonary embolism (PE) in soldiers posted at high altitude areas (HAA). Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis of all cases of PE presented to us between March 2011 and Aug 2014. The patients were serving at an altitude between 10,000 and 22,000 ft above sea level and PE was diagnosed using the pulmonary CT angiography. Screening for the deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and procoagulant conditions was done at presentation and after six months of treatment. The patients were managed as per the American College of Cardiology (ACC) guidelines and descriptive statistics were used to present the data. Results The patients (53 males) had a mean age of 33 ± 4.2 year and were serving at a mean altitude of 12,176 ± 448 feet (ranged between 10,000 and 20,500) at the onset of symptoms. Dyspnea (79%) and tachycardia (68%) were the commonest symptom and sign, respectively. D dimer was positive in 96.2% of the cases while nonspecific T inversion in the ECG was seen in 54.7% of the patients. Procoagulant work up revealed a hereditary thrombophilic condition in 9 out of 53 patients. A total of 44 cases were idiopathic and DVT of lower limb veins was seen in 2 patients. There was no mortality in our case series. Conclusion PE is a common complication of HAA and hereditary thrombophilia contributes in a minority of the patients. Further studies are needed to ascertain the risk factors of PE at HAA.

The Correlation between Stress, Depression, and Social Relations of Korean Soldiers with a History of Suicidal Behavior / 신경정신의학

OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the relationships between soldiers' social relations, stress, and depressive symptoms. We also investigated the effect of previous suicide-related behaviors on their correlations. METHODS: This study was conducted on a total of 1000 soldiers. Study subjects were tested using clinical scales including the Korean Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the Center for Epidemiological Studies for Depression Scale, the Worker's Stress Response Inventory and the Lubbens Social Network Scale-6. Sociodemographic characteristics and history of suicide-related behaviors were also examined. In order to investigate the relationships between stress, depression, and social relations in groups with and without a history of suicide-related behavior, one-way correlation analysis was performed. RESULTS: Depressive symptoms and stress were positively correlated when sociodemographic factors are controlled, regardless of past history of suicide-related behaviors. Depressive symptoms and social relations showed a weak negative correlation. Furthermore, stress and social relations showed a weak negative correlation. When the stress response was additionally controlled, there was no significant correlation between depressive symptoms and social relations. There was a stronger correlation between the group with a history of suicide-related behavior and the group without suicide - related behavior. CONCLUSION: There was a significant positive correlation between depressive symptoms and stress, and this correlation was greater in patients with a history of suicidal behavior than in those without prior suicidal behavior. In addition, social relations did not directly affect depressive symptoms but was found to mediate stress indirectly.

Study of neutralizing antibody against human adenovirus type 55 in soldiers of Southwest China / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the prevalence and neutralizing activity of anti-human adenovirus type 55 (anti-HAdV55) among the soldiers in Southwest China, so as to provide reference for the prevention and control of HAdV55. Methods The sera of 325 soldiers in Southwest China were collected, and the anti-HAdV55 in serum was detected by ELISA. The neutralization activity of antibody positive serum was detected by neutralization test in vitro. Results The positive rate of anti-HAdV55 was low (5.85%, 19/325) among the soldiers in Southwest China. Of the 19 cases of positive serum, 14 cases were able to neutralize HAdV55 infection in human laryngeal epithelial carcinoma cell line (Hep-2 cells) with the highest titer being 1∶64. Conclusion The positive rate of anti-HAdV55 is low among the soldiers in Southwest China, which suggests the soldiers in Southwest China have a low resistance to HAdV55 infection. Once the individual infection is found, the troops should strengthen the prevention and control of HAdV55 infection to prevent the spreading of infection.

Investigation of sleep quality and life quality of soldiers in a navy warship troop / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the sleep quality and life quality of soldiers in a navy warship troop, and to explore the correlation between sleep quality and life quality and their influencing factors. Methods Random cluster sampling method was used to select navy soldiers from a navy warship troop. The subjects were surveyed by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale and World Health Organization Quality of Life-Brief scale (WHOQOL-BREF). Results A total of 160 questionnaires were sent out and 154 valid questionnaires were returned (response rate 94.6%). Of 154 subjects, 31.8% (49/154) had good sleep quality, 53.2% (82/154) had moderate sleep quality, and 14.9% (23/154) had poor sleep quality. The soldiers with good sleep quality had significantly higher scores than those with poor sleep quality in physical, psychological, social and environmental domains of life quality (P0.05 or P0.01). Total PSQI score and most of scores of 7 parts of life quality, including subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep time, sleep disturbances, hypnotic drugs, daytime dysfunction and sleep efficiency, were negatively correlated with the scores of 4 domains of sleep quality. There was significant difference in sleep latency of the subjects with the educational level of junior high school, senior high or polytechnic school, junior college, undergraduate college, or graduate degrees (F＝5.368, P0.01), and the subjects with junior college degree had the highest score of sleep latency, while those with undergraduate college degree had the lowest score of sleep latency. Soldiers had a higher score of sleep latency than the officers (t＝2.069, P＝0.040). There was significant difference in the social domain scores of life quality between navy servicemen with military service time 8 years, 3-8 years and ≤2 years (F＝3.401, P＝0.036). Officers had a higher score of social domain than soldiers (t＝－2.093, P＝0.038). Conclusion The sleep quality of navy servicemen should be improved. Improving sleep quality can effectively ameliorate life quality. The sleep quality and life quality of navy servicemen are related to educational levels, work categories and military service time. The corresponding psychological and behavioral intervention should be carried out according to the characteristics of different personnels.

Effect evaluation of intervene on healthy behavior of soldiers on platesu area to prevent hemorrhoids based on transtheoretical model / 中国实用护理杂志

Objective To explore the effect of trans theoretical model in changing on healthy behavior of soldiers on plateau area to prevent hemorrhoids. Methods Fifty-four soldiers respectively from the artillery troops and air defenses force troops were selected and divided into control group that received normal healthy education and treatment group that received the healthy behavior intervene based on transtheoretical model and the changes of the behavior at each stage of intervention were observed and contrasted between two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in the number of each stage between two groups at 1 and 3 months after intervention (χ2= 1.514, 6.554, P> 0.05). The number of former intention stage, intention stage, preparation stage, action stage, maintain stage at 6 months after intervention in treatment group were respectively 0, 0, 0, 15, 39 cases, and 2, 3, 6, 20, 23 cases in control group respectively, the difference was statistically significant (χ2=15.843, P0.05). The number of daily training of the levator ani less than 5, 6-15, 16-25, 26-35,>35 times at 3, 6 months after intervention respectively was 5, 6, 6, 17 cases and 20, 0, 0, 0, 14, 40 cases in treatment group respectively, 9, 13, 14, 10, 8 cases, and 3, 4, 6, 22, 19 cases in control group,the differences were statistically significant (χ2=13.459, 22.252, P<0.01). The incidence of bloody at 6 months after intervention was 3.70% (2/54) in treatment group and 16.67% (9/54) in control group, the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4.960, P < 0.05). Conclusions The intervene based on transtheoretical model can effectively promote the healthy behavior to prevent hemorrhoids and reduce the recurrence rate of hemorrhoids.
