Introduction. Excessive stress on the functional reserves of the body of military personnel can lead to persistent health disorders, disability and dismissal from the Armed Forces of Russia. Aim. Compare the dismissal for health reasons in the military personnel of the Navy of Russia and the Russian Armed Forces in 2003–2018. by categories of military personnel. Material and methods. We conducted a statistical analysis of medical reports on the health status of personnel and medical service activity according to Form 3/MED in military units with a sample comprising about 60% of the total number of military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces and the Navy served from 2003 to 2018. The results and their discussion. Dismissal for health reasons in officers of the Russian Navy over 2003 to 2018 was 15,90±1,36, officers of other branches of the Russian Armed Forces — 7,98±1,10‰ (p<0,001); contract servicemen — 6,82±0,57 and 3,92±0,32, respectively (p<0,001); conscripts — 33,38±1,79 and 17,57±1,19, respectively (p<0,001); women soldiers — 23,01±3,34 and 9,14±1,37‰ (p<0,01). There were no significant differences in the nomenclature of disease blocks that caused dismissals in the categories of military personnel of the Russian Navy and the Russian Armed Forces. Higher dismissal levels within disease blocks indicated higher intensity of professional work and increased demands to the health status of the Navy servicemen compared to those from other branches of the Armed Forces. As a rule, dismissals of military personnel of the Russian Navy and the Russian Armed Forces were due to diseases of the circulatory system (ICD-10 Chapter IX), diseases of the digestive system (Chapter XI) and neoplasms (Chapter II). At the same time, some features of the structure of dismissals for health reasons were identified in the military personnel by categories. Conclusion. Accounting for and prevention of leading diseases that caused dismissals due to health reasons will contribute to improving the health of military personnel.

Relevance. The level of suicides, according to several authors, is one of the most significant indicators of mental health in society, including in the armies of the world.Intention. To analyze suicides and their existing prevention system in the Russian Federation population and Armed Forces in 2007–2018.Methodology. Mental disorders and behavioral disorders (F00–F99 by Chapter V, the International Classification of Diseases of the 10th revision) were analyzed according to 3/MED Form in the military units, where ≥ 80 % of the military personnel served. The longterm trends of the main statistical indicators of suicides and mental disorders among military personnel compared to the Russian population have been established.Results and Discussion. In 2007–2018, the level of suicides in the Russian Armed Forces was (12.00 ± 1.35) per 100 thousand military personnel and was 1.7 times lower than in the population of Russia (20.12 ± 1.56) per 100 thousand (p < 0.001). The level of suicides seems to decrease among the military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces. When analyzing the longterm incidence of mental disorders and the level of suicides in the personnel of the Armed Forces of Russia, no significant correlation was found. At the same time, in a cohort of officers and ensigns, a statistically significant correlation was established between the level of suicides and the general incidence of the Chapter V diseases (r = 0.87; p < 0.01), including stressrelated neurotic and somatoform disorders (F40–F48; r = 0.72; p < 0.01), mental and behavioral disorders associated with the use of psychoactive substances (F10–F19; r = 0.89; p < 0.001). In the military conscripts, there was a correlation between the level of suicides and general morbidity related to Chapter V diseases (r = 0.72; p < 0.05), including personality and behavior disorders in adulthood (F60–F69; r = 0.81; p < 0.01) and organic, including symptomatic, mental disorders (F00– F09; r = 0.76; p < 0.05). It was revealed that among the officers and military personnel under the contract, family and domestic causes of suicide prevailed in contrast to the draft servicemen. Meanwhile somatic and mental diseases as a predominant cause of suicide accounted for a relatively small proportion.Conclusion. Psychoprophylactic measures should be aimed at early detection of servicemen prone to suicidal behavior, effective assistance in resolving militaryprofessional difficulties and domestic problems, as well as at improving their adaptation to military service. Special attention should be paid to the early detection of people with addictive disorders, especially alcohol abusers.
