心血管疾病是商业飞行员失去执照的最常见原因。本研究旨在探讨空勤人员心血管疾病之危险因子。研究组由113名男性商业飞行机组人员（飞行员）组成，年龄在35至44岁（平均年龄：38.8岁），他们参加了强制性健康筛查。在马尔莫健康筛查中心接受调查的男性被用作参照组。第1组，EGG，（n 771），年龄38 - 44岁（平均：42.1）。第2组，身高、体重、体重指数（BMI）（体重kg/身高m2）、血压、血清胆固醇（总）和吸烟习惯（n 5005），年龄35 ~ 44岁（平均39.2），飞行员在身高、体重、BMI、舒张压或吸烟习惯方面与参考人群没有差异。然而，与对照组相比，飞行员的心电图左心室肥厚、收缩压升高和胆固醇水平显著升高。机组成员的选择标准可能主要不同于一般男性群体。过度的环境压力，即轮班工作，时差，疲劳，以及饮食因素，也可能导致该集团的异常。这些异常对飞行员的临床后果应进一步评估，因为它们对飞行员和飞行安全都很重要。
Cardiovascular disease is the most common reason for loss of license among commercial flight pilots. This study was done to explore cardiovascular risk factors among aircrew officers. The study group consisted of 113 male commercial flight aircrew officers (aviators), aged thirty-five to forty-four years (mean: 38.8 years) who participated in the compulsory health screening. Men investigated at the Health Screening Centre, Malmo, were used as the reference group. Group 1, for EGG, (n 771), aged thirty-eight to forty-four years (mean: 42.1). Group 2, for height, weight, body mass index (BMI) (weight kg/height m(2)), blood pressure, serum cholesterol (total), and smoking habits (n 5005), aged thirty-five to forty-four years (mean: 39.2).The aviators did not differ from the reference population in regard to height, weight, BMI, diastolic blood pressure, or smoking habits. However, the incidences of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy, increased systolic blood pressure, and the level of cholesterol were significantly higher in the aviators when compared with the controls. Aircrew members may primarily be selected by criteria that differ from the male population in general. Excessive environmental stress, ie, shift work, jet lag, fatigue, as well as dietary factors, may also contribute to anomalies in the group. The clinical consequences of these anomalies for the aviators should be further evaluated, for they are important both for the aviators and for flying safety.
