A Preliminary Description of the Health of Women Navy Divers: An Examination of Linked Medical, Personnel, and Dive Log Data for 47 Women Divers Who Separated Between 2008 and 2018.

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 interventions.
