Abstract

Relevance. Health preservation and promotion of among female population is fundamental for healthy demographics and national safety of the Russian Federation. Nowadays the female military make up approximately 8% of active military corps of the Russian Federation Armed Forces. At the same time, service in the army spans within active reproductive age. A woman’s health is largely determined by her social status, level of education, marital status, stress resistance and other factors.The objective is to assess medical, social and demographic characteristics of tuberculosis among social groups of the female military and female family members of the military.Methods. Individual and community medical records (medical histories, annual reports of healthcare services in military districts) were analyzed to identify medical, social and demographic characteristics of the female military, infected with tuberculosis (group 1, n = 62), and female family members of the military (group 2, n = 38), who had received treatment in the referral military medical institution from 2012 throughout 2021. Mathematical and statistic processing were carried out using Statistica10.0 software packages.Results and discussion. Nowadays, tuberculosis incidence in the female military of the Russian Armed Forces is within the limits of epidemic well-being. Unlike general Russian population, no case of HIV infection was detected among the female military infected with tuberculosis and having undergone medical examination from 2012 throughout 2021. A lot of healthcare professionals (17.7%) were registered among the tuberculosis-infected female family members of the military. Clinical forms of tuberculosis were dominated by infiltrative pulmonary tuberculosis (48.4%). Concomitant diseases in the studied cohort of tuberculosis-infected female patients were prevailed by gynecological (35.4%), endocrine (17.7%) and cardiovascular (12.9%) disorders.Conclusion. In the future the study of social, demographic and clinical characteristics of tuberculosis in the female military and female family members of the military allows to provide more targeted prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
