Abstract
BACKGROUND: Despite the importance of the quality of life of military personnel as the basis of the country's defense capability, there is currently no unified methodology for studying this indicator.
AIM: to assess the quality of life related to the health of military personnel using the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire.
MATHERIALS AND METHOD: In the course of a sociological study of the quality of life of military personnel in 2023, a questionnaire was conducted using EQ-5D-3L. The survey data were evaluated in accordance with the official methodology and compared with the data of the Russian population study.
RESULTS: The negative dynamics of EQ-VAS with age and the absence of differences in assessment depending on the level of education were confirmed, at the same time, it was found that grades on this scale for secondary and higher education in military personnel were lower than in the Russian population. The proportion of respondents who indicated the health profile "11111" among military personnel turned out to be one and a half times higher than in the Russian population. Significant differences in the index of the health status of military personnel between some age groups have been established, as well as higher rates for single people compared with married respondents.
CONCLUSION: The use of the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire will create normative indicators to describe the quality of life of military personnel, and will also contribute to the formation of health indices and weight coefficients for further analysis, evaluation of the effectiveness of clinical trials involving representatives of this social group.
