Sorry for the clickbait title.
I read this study online (done on Brazilian ATCs)
Conclusion
This study concluded that the group of ATC studied is overweight, has excess body fat, has elevated blood pressure, and is physically inactive, suggesting increased risk for chronic non-transmittable diseases. The sleep analysis showed significant sleep deprivation caused by working night and morning shifts, compromising worker performance, health, and quality of life. Perceptions of quality of life were found to be more negative, mainly in terms of physical aspects and social relations. Thus, actions to ensure a minimum of 6 hours of rest before the nightshift were associated with establishing awareness and adequacy of work environments to stimulate physical activity and healthy eating habits.
What do you guys think? Is it because alcohol is one of your few ways to de-stress allowed? Is it the insane sleep schedule?
What would you guys estimate as the average ATC's life expectancy?
Would love to know your guys' input (and anecdotes if you have any)
