Our aim is to estimate the self-reported one-year prevalence of neck pain in military helicopter pilots and to compare work-related, individual, and health-related factors in the pilots with (neck pain group) and without (reference group) regular or continuous neck pain. A questionnaire was completed by 75% (n = 113) of all military helicopter pilots of the Royal Netherlands Air Force and Navy. The reported one-year prevalence of any neck pain was 43%, and 20% for regular or continuous neck pain. Besides some significant differences in individual and health-related factors (also often reported in the general population), flying hours were significantly higher in pilots with neck pain compared to their colleagues without neck pain. The findings in this study suggest that neck pain in military helicopter pilots is a significant occupational problem and may be a consequence of longer exposure to flying.
我们的目标是估计军事直升机飞行员自我报告的颈部疼痛一年患病率，并比较有（颈部疼痛组）和无（参照组）经常或持续颈部疼痛的飞行员在工作相关、个人和健康相关因素方面的差异。荷兰皇家空军和海军的所有军事直升机飞行员中有75%（n = 113）完成了一份调查问卷。报告的任何颈部疼痛的一年患病率为43%，经常或持续颈部疼痛的患病率为20%。除了在个人和健康相关因素方面存在一些显著差异（在普通人群中也经常有报告）外，有颈部疼痛的飞行员的飞行小时数明显高于没有颈部疼痛的同事。本研究的结果表明，军事直升机飞行员的颈部疼痛是一个重大的职业问题，可能是长期接触飞行的结果。
