This study evaluated the incidence of first hospitalizations for personality disorders and their association with career outcomes for Navy enlisted personnel. Gender differences, rates for subtypes, and changes in hospital admission rates over time also were examined. Personnel who were first hospitalized with a personality disorder between 1980 and 1988 were followed through 1992 and were compared with a control group that did not manifest such pathology. Hospitalized personality disorder cases demonstrated pathology very early in their military careers, which was judged to have been present prior to enlistment in more than one-half of the cases. Women were more likely than men to have a first hospitalization for personality disorders. Rates in both men and women increased during the latter one-half of the 1980s and decreased during the early 1990s.
本研究评估了海军应征人员人格障碍首次住院的发生率及其与职业结局的关联。还研究了性别差异、亚型发生率以及随时间推移的住院率变化。对1980年至1988年间首次因人格障碍住院的人员进行了随访，直至1992年，并与未表现出此类病理状况的对照组进行比较。住院的人格障碍病例在其军事生涯早期就表现出病理状况，在超过一半的病例中，这种状况被判定在入伍前就已存在。女性比男性更有可能首次因人格障碍住院。20世纪80年代后半期，男性和女性的住院率均有所上升，而在90年代初有所下降。
