The first column in each pair represents the number of medical encounters attributable to a burden of disease major category. The second column represents the number of individuals affected by the disease category. The accompanying marker depicts the number of hospital bed days attributable to that category. Injury and mental health disorders were the 2 most frequent burden of disease major categories associated with medical encounters among reserve component Coast Guard members.
