SPSS 26.0 software was used for statistical analysis to understand the disease composition of seafarers\u2019 health checkups, and single-factor analysis and multifactor logistic regression analysis were used to explore the influencing factors of seafarers\u2019 abnormal ECG results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Abnormal body mass index (BMI), abdominal obesity, refractive error, liver function abnormality, ECG abnormality, high blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose and other abnormalities were more common in the health checkup of seafarers. Among them, abnormal ECG is mainly classified into myocardial ischemia\/infarction and arrhythmia. Fatty liver and urinary stones were common in ultrasound examination of seafarers over 40\u202fyears old. High blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose and smoking were risk factors for abnormal ECG results.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Carrying out the health management of seafarers, strengthening the health education of seafarers with high prevalence of diseases, dynamically tracking the abnormal results of seafarers\u2019 physical examination, and increasing the prevention and control of cardiovascular diseases in seafarers\u2019 group can effectively improve the comprehensive health level of seafarers\u2019
