Abstract

Military pilots (MP) are special subjects, pathology or cardiovascular physiological disorders are the leading cause of MP's inability to fly. Osteoprotegerin is associated with risk factors and cardiovascular disease, but has not been studied in Vietnamese MP. The cross – sectional sudy conducted on 246 male military pilots and a control group with 118 male soldiers, with objectives were evaluating of plasma OPG concentration and relationship with some cardiovascular risks in Vietnamese MP. Survey of cardiovascular risks through clinical and subclinical examination. The plasma OPG concentration was quantified by ELISA method. The results were: The median of plasma OPG in MP was 1485.31 pg/ml, statistically significantly higher than the control group (p<0,001). Plasma OPG concentration increased with age, hypertension and higher in MP with metabolic syndrom, with statistically significant (p<0.01, p<0.001). There was no significant difference in OPG levels in the MP group with dyslipidemia, overweight and obesity (p>0.05).
