One hundred medical certificates issued by the Local Military Medical Commission and which served as a basis for discharging the military from the Polish Army were used for the analysis of discopathy and spondylosis observed in this group of population. The age of subjects, length of military service and service conditions were taken into consideration. It was revealed that over 30% of active military men had been discharged from the army due to discopathy and spondylosis. The largest group of the military suffering from these diseases (about 60%) was found in troops of the line.
