Abstract:Objective To determine the health status of the Armed Police on the plateau and explore the relationships with the risk of ischemic cardiovascular diseases (ICVD).Methods The Europe health-related quality of life questionnaire 5 dimensions (EQ-5D) was used to explore the correlations between the health status of the Armed Police on the plateau and IVCD. The risk of IVCD in 10 years was also studied.Results In terms of pain, discomfort, anxiety and depression,the plateau group scored (2.75±0.58) and (2.49±0.44), respectively, which were higher than those of the plain group (P<0.05). The plateau group scored (73.67±15.36) in EQ visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), significantly lower than that of the plain group. At the same time, the percentage of smokers of the plateau group was 55.98%, and the incidence of hyperlipidemia was 15.35%, and both were higher than in the plain group(P<0.05).Conclusions There is a significant correlation between the health status of the Armed Police servicemen on the plateau and the incidence of IVCD in 10 years. The EQ-5D survey can expose the potential risk of IVCD and help high-risk servicemen to get treated early.
