• Abstract:
  A Scientific Information System developed at the Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) has supported several studies of the U.S. civil pilot population. The CAMI Numerical Sciences Research Team used this unique data construct to examine the aeromedical and aviation safety aspects of diabetes. The prevalence of diabetes from 1983 through 2005 and its associated risk factor, obesity, was studied. Issues associated with the medical certification of aviators with diabetes and their relationships with accident risk were examined.
