“…Military forces play a crucial role in defending, maintaining the security, and ensuring the stability of a nation. These individuals are signi cantly exposed to various injuries and speci c diseases due to their missions, duties, and occupational requirements (17). Many of these conditions, upon occurrence, require regular and continuous medical care, and controlling the factors leading to them can be challenging in military settings (18).…”

Introduction Vitamin D is an essential prohormone for body functions. Obesity and vitamin D deficiency both affect each other. Many obese individuals exhibit a combination of metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods The present study was conducted cross-sectional in 2023. The study population was considered to be 216 military personnel from Tehran. Blood samples were taken from the subjects to measure high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), fasting blood sugar (FBS), and 25-hydroxy vitamin D. Height, weight, body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and pulse were also measured. Using a questionnaire, demographic information and information about the history of some diseases were collected from the study subjects. Results The mean age was 41.06 years, and the mean work experience was 8.02 years. A higher percentage of diabetic or pre-diabetic subjects were obese or overweight (p < 0.001). The average level of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) in subjects with normal weight was 27.23 times lower than other subjects. In normal-weight subjects in the study, there was a negative association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D and DBP (β= -0.061). Conclusion We discovered a significant link between 25-hydroxyvitamin D insufficiency in military personnel and heightened cardiovascular risk factors. Subsequent studies employing a longitudinal approach are necessary to validate our results and shed more light on the influence of vitamin D on cardiovascular risk.

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the limitations of urban public health emergency response capabilities. Taking Wuhan as an example, this study used breakpoint regression, kernel density analysis, overlay analysis, and accessibility analysis from Stata and ArcGIS, and divided epidemic prevention facilities into the basic epidemic prevention facilities (hospitals), and the emergency epidemic prevention facilities (mobile cabin hospitals) for further analysis. The results showed that over 70% of the basic epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan were located in high density population areas. On the contrary, most of the emergency epidemic prevention facilities were located in low density population areas. The local treatment effect of the implementation of the emergency epidemic prevention facility policy is about 1, indicating that there was a significant impact of emergency epidemic prevention facilities on outbreak control, which passed the bandwidth test. What’s more, the analysis of the accessibility of residential points revealed that more than 67.3% of people from the residential points could arrive at the epidemic prevention facilities within 15 min, and only 0.1% of them took more than 20 min to arrive. Therefore, the epidemic prevention facilities can effectively curb the spread of the epidemic, and people from residential areas can quickly get there. This study summarized the spatial characteristics of epidemic prevention facilities in Wuhan and analyzed the importance of them, thus providing a new perspective for future research on upgrading the city’s comprehensive disaster prevention system.
