The NIH Division
of Public Health Methods began immediately to work with the Selective
Service on physical examinations of draftees. Surprisingly, 43% were found
unfit for military service—28% unfit for any military service and 15% fit
for limited service only. Bad teeth were the single greatest cause of health
problems in recruits. Syphilis and the disabilities it caused was also
widespread. |
