Still, little is known about how occupational health risks among Navy divers might vary between men and women. Our objective was to use available data to examine health issues among all separating divers and then determine how prevalence rates varied between men and women for diagnoses made within the diver\u2019s last year of active duty service.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>For this retrospective observational study, medical records and personnel data were linked with dive logs at the individual level. We calculated sex-specific prevalence rates and relative risks per 1,000 divers by major diagnostic categories and by specific disease diagnoses.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We identified 47 women among the 4,623 active duty Navy divers (1.0%) who separated between 2008 and 2018. Ages varied between 19 and 54 years (M = 33, SD = 8) for women, compared to men who were 18-65\u2009years (M = 35, SD = 9). When compared to men, women had about six times the rate of diseases of the genitourinary system, twice the rate of respiratory system diseases, and about four times as many diagnoses of disorders of the lacrimal system.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The findings of much higher relative risks for women for conditions such as genitourinary disease, skin conditions, and acute respiratory infections require follow-up research to look for causes and potential risk reduction interventions. Future research must determine specific and relative risks as a necessary precursor to developing, implementing, and testing potentially sex-specific risk reduction and health improvement
