    Abstract
  • Degenerative disc disease is a common chronic degenerative disease, which is also the primary cause of neck, waist and leg pain. Studies have shown that the intervertebral disc began to degenerate from about 18 years old. In the middle-aged group and elderly, the biochemical composition of the intervertebral disc changes because of the joint influence of internal and external factors, leading to the gradual loss of structure and function, thereby resulting in degenerative diseases. However, investigation results show that the prevalence of degenerative disc disease is higher in pilots, particularly in fighter pilots, and the onset age is earlier than that of ordinary people. In recent years, with the development of aviation technology and the continuous improvement of fighter jets performance, the prevalence of degenerative disc disease in pilots also has been increasing, which has gradually become an important and common disease in pilots. Degenerative disc disease also ranked first amongst the diseases of hospitalisation and of pilots who failed to pass the physical examination. Amongst the diseases, cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation are most common. The changes in spinal physiological curvature are the most common early signs of imaging, which can be used as the basis for diagnosis and intervention. In addition, previous studies have found that intervertebral disc degeneration is related to pilot age, flight duration and type of aircraft flown. Cervical and lumbar back pain caused by degenerative disc diseases has a great impact on the health and mental state of pilots, which is a major problem in the medical and health field of our armed forces. This paper reviews the epidemiological investigation results and characteristics of degenerative disc diseases in pilots, home and abroad in recent 20 years, particularly in high-performance fighter pilots, providing effective basis for the study of disease characteristics, prediction of development trend and implementation of prevention and control strategies.
