We compared injuries/risk factors in infantry soldiers (I), construction engineers (CE), combat artillery (CA), and Special Forces (SF) during their operational and fitness activities.
Anthropometrics, ethnicity, and fitness data were collected before review of medical records.
Injury rates for I, CE, and CA were 4.0, 7.2, and 5.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, respectively; over 70% of them resulted from overuse. SF soldiers had an injury rate of 3.5 injuries/100 soldier-months, 50% of them reported as traumatic. Average limited-duty days (LDDs) were threefold higher in SF. Smoking, BMI > or =25, and APFT run time for 3.2 km >14 minutes were risk factors in I. Caucasian ethnicity, height <170.2 cm, weight > or =90 kg, and BMI > or =25 were risk factors in CE and CA. Age >27 years old was a risk factor in SF.
Greater emphasis should be placed on risk factor identification and testing strategies to reduce injuries among SF and other troops.
我们比较了步兵（I）、建筑工程师（CE）、战斗炮兵（CA）和特种部队（SF）在作战和体能活动期间的受伤情况/风险因素。
在查阅医疗记录之前收集人体测量学、种族和体能数据。
I、CE和CA的受伤率分别为4.0、7.2和5.5起/100士兵月；其中70%以上是过度使用造成的。SF士兵的受伤率为3.5起/100士兵月，其中50%报告为创伤性损伤。SF的平均有限执勤天数（LDD）高出三倍。吸烟、BMI≥25以及3.2公里APFT跑步时间>14分钟是I的风险因素。白种人、身高<170.2厘米、体重≥90公斤以及BMI≥25是CE和CA的风险因素。年龄>27岁是SF的风险因素。
应更加重视风险因素识别和测试策略，以减少SF和其他部队的受伤情况。
