The number of active component service members treated for heat stroke in 2013 (n=324) was the lowest since 2010 (n=321). Incidence rates of heat stroke were higher among males, those younger than 20 years of age, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Marine Corps and Army members, recruit trainees, and service members in combat-specific occupations, compared to their respective counterparts. Fewer service members were treated for "other heat injuries" in 2013 (n=1,701) than in any other year of the 5-year surveillance period. In addition, there were fewer reportable medical events, ambulatory encounters, and hospitalizations for "other heat injuries" in 2013 than in any of the prior 4 years. The incidence rate of "other heat injuries" was higher among females than males and 304 percent higher among recruit trainees than among other enlisted members or officers. During 2009-2013, a total of 909 heat injury events occurred in Iraq/Afghanistan; 6.4 percent (n=58) of those events were due to heat stroke.
2013年接受中暑治疗的现役军人数量（n = 324）是自2010年（n = 321）以来最少的。与各自的对应人群相比，男性、20岁以下人员、亚太岛民、海军陆战队和陆军成员、新兵学员以及从事特定作战职业的军人中暑发病率更高。2013年接受“其他热损伤”治疗的军人数量（n = 1701）少于5年监测期内的任何其他年份。此外，2013年“其他热损伤”的可报告医疗事件、门诊就诊和住院人数均少于前4年中的任何一年。“其他热损伤”的发病率女性高于男性，新兵学员比其他士兵或军官高304%。在2009 - 2013年期间，伊拉克/阿富汗共发生909起热损伤事件；其中6.4%（n = 58）是中暑所致。
