[Epidemiologic analysis of non-hospital pneumonia incidence in the troops].

The analysis of dynamics of pneumonia incidence in servicemen for 50 years and 1 year was conducted. The risk factors of pneumonia development in the troops were studied. Some of them decrease the body immunoresistance (supercooling, acute respiratory disease, adaptation to the service and new climatic-and-geographic conditions, stress, body mass deficiency, etc.). The others activate the mechanism of pneumonia agent transmission ("mixing" factor during the fresh forces admission, overcrowding, many people in the sleeping rooms, etc.). To prevent the pneumonia incidence in military collectives the prophylactic and anti-epidemic measures should reduce the influence of these factors.
