This paper gives an analytical review of epidemiological data about the morbidity and mortality rate of the flying personnel. It shows that the flying personnel differs from the general population in their better health condition which manifests as lower morbidity and mortality rates in every large group of disease. This better health status of the flying personnel may be a result of their adequate selection. The selection makes it difficult to identify relationships between disease and flight effects. Information about these relationships is contradictory and/or insufficient. Proper assessment of flight effects on the health condition of the flying personnel needs further controlled epidemiological investigations.
本文对飞行人员发病率和死亡率的流行病学数据进行了分析综述。结果表明，飞行人员的健康状况优于普通人群，具体表现为在各类重大疾病组中发病率和死亡率较低。飞行人员这种较好的健康状况可能是其严格选拔的结果。这种选拔使得难以确定疾病与飞行影响之间的关系。关于这些关系的信息相互矛盾和/或不充分。要对飞行对飞行人员健康状况的影响进行恰当评估，还需要进一步开展对照流行病学调查。
