RESULTS OF GENERAL CLINICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL ANALYSES IN THE COURSE OF MAJOR BRONCHOPULMONARY DISEASES AMONG MILITARY PERSONNEL

Abstract

 Studying the prevalence of major bronchopulmonary diseases is one of the critical indicators of public health, including among military personnel. Data obtained from various studies show different results due to factors such as living and working conditions, methodology of data collection, diagnostic methods, and the availability of preventive measures. The aim of our research is to assess the results of general clinical and biochemical analyses in the course of major bronchopulmonary diseases among military personnel. To achieve this, we set out to study laboratory analyses related to community-acquired pneumonia and chronic nonspecific lung diseases (including chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and bronchial asthma) among military personnel. To gather comprehensive information about the primary symptoms and progression of these diseases, prospective studies were conducted in 2023 on patients treated at the Tashkent Central Military Clinical Hospital. The study included 273 military personnel who were categorized into the following age groups: under 29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, and 50 years or older. Due to the limited number of cases observed among those aged 60 and 70, these individuals were not placed in separate groups. Among the participants, 33.7% (92 individuals) were relatively healthy with no lung diseases, 33.7% (92 individuals) had community-acquired pneumonia, and 32.6% (89 individuals) were diagnosed with chronic nonspecific lung diseases (CHNLD).
