Object. To create an integral index of health impairment of servicemen as a part of the implementation of scientific research work. Materials and methods. Following medical and statistical indicators of morbidity among military personnel were used: general and primary morbidity, necessity in dispensary observation, hospitalization, days of disability, dismission for health reasons and mortality. An expert survey was conducted to determine the significance coefficients of medical and statistical indicators of morbidity. Results.
