    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the quality of life of the air-force soldiers and officers in the southern military region of China. METHODS: A self-rated health measurement scale was used to evaluate the quality of life of 783 air-force soldiers and officers in view of their physical, mental and social statuses. RESULTS: The quality of life of the subjects was at an intermediate level. Their physical, mental and social scores were 66.33+/-9.38, 58.99+/-10.09 and 53.69+/-12.40, respectively, with a total score of 178.44+/-22.60. The quality of life of the soldiers and officers significantly differed with educational background (P<0.01), places of enlisting (P<0.01), arm of the service (P<0.05), identities or positions (P<0.01), and occupation before enlisting (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The quality of life of the soldiers and officers can be affected by such factors as educational back- ground, places of enlisting, arm of the service, identities or positions, and occupation before enlisting, but the nationalities or status of being the only child in family does not obviously influence the quality of life of the military personnel.
