Af(?)er survey of the 255 severe airsickness cases, it was found that 77.25% were female, 22.75% were male and the incidence of the women who suffered from airsickness was significantly bigger than that of the men. The survey also discovered that the inci(?)ence of airsickness plus carsickness was 77.47 %, and the incidence of family heredity was 65.88 %. So far there wasn’t any anti-airsickness medicine with high efficiency and less side effect.Discussion : Physical Examination for air force and civil aviation persons should include the investigation of family heredity, and new anti-airsickness medicine for passengers should be developed and produced.展开更多
