Abstract
Objective To investigate the incidence and related risk factors of chronic prostatitis-like symptoms (CPLS) in soldiers at high altitude. Methods A cluster sampling survey was conducted among soldiers at grass-roots level in high altitude areas ( average altitude: 4 200 m). A questionnaire was developed based on the International Prostatitis Symptom Score issued by the National Health Hospital of the United States. The personal information of soldiers ( age, height, body mass, marital status, education, smoking status, living habits, etc. ) was collected. A total of 534 soldiers were investigated, and 516 soldiers were enrolled, including 424 healthy soldiers and 92 CPLS soldiers. The differences of related influencing factors between healthy soldiers and CPLS soldiers were observed, and the related influencing factors were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results The incidence of CPLS was 17. 8% in the survey population. There were significant differences between healthy soldiers and CPLS soldiers in terms of age, marital status, frequency of masturbation, training duration at plateau, frequency of holding urine, and history of urogenital diseases ( P < 0. 05). Binary logistic regression analysis of the related influencing factors showed that age, excessive masturbation, training duration at plateau for more than 12 months, frequent urination, and previous urogenital diseases were risk factors for CPLS. Conclusion The overall incidence of CPLS in soldiers at high altitude is at a high level. The incidence of CPLS in soldiers in high altitude areas is related to excessive masturbation, frequently holding urine, training duration at plateau, and history of urogenital diseases. Based on the above related risk factors, health education should be conducted for soldiers at plateau, so as to provide prevention strategies for their reproductive health.
