We analyzed medical reports by Form 3/MED in military units with about 60% of the total number of military women in the Russian Navy (RN) served from 2003 to 2016. Over 14 years, average annual overall morbidity was 1476,9±60,8‰, primary morbidity 549,9±27,7‰, the need for dynamic follow-up 253,0±19,7‰, hospital admission 350±36‰, days out of work 7620±517‰, dismissal for health reasons 24,28±3,69‰. The death rate was 59,5±9,9 deaths per 100 thousand military per year. Polynomial trends of the listed indicators with determination coefcients of varying significance revealed inverted U-curve. Compared with all women soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces, RN military women tended to lower overall and primary morbidity, higher need for dynamic follow-up, hospitalizations and a significantly higher dismissal due to health reasons (p<0,01). Of the highest military-epidemiological significance for RN military women there were neoplasms (International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Health Problems of the 10th revision, Category II, 18,9%), followed by cardiovascular diseases (IX, 17,9%), respiratory diseases (X, 11,8%), endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (IV, 9,7%), diseases of the genitourinary system (XIV, 9%), which in total amounted to 67,3% of the total structure. Measures to prevent such major diseases will contribute to improving the health of RN military women.
