The Impact of Deployment and Combat Exposure on Physical Health Among Military Personnel: A Systematic Review of Incidence, Prevalence, and Risks.

Objectives: The impact of deployment and combat on mental health of military personnel is well described. Less evidence is available to demonstrate and summarize the incidence, prevalence, and risks of these exposures on physical health. This study aims to (1) systematically review the available literature to determine the incidence and prevalence of physical health conditions among military personnel during and after deployment and (2) investigate the risks of deployment and combat exposure on physical health.

The aim of this study was to summarize available evidence on use of IIPs for CIPII for diabetes treatment, since its introduction to clinical use on the following outcomes: HbA1c, hypoglycaemic events, and complications of treatment.
