Abstract
The occupational demands of professional airline pilots such as shift work, sleep disruption, fatigue, physical inactivity, and psychological stress may promote adverse outcomes to cardiometabolic health. Indeed, recent studies indicate similar notable prevalence of physiological, behavioral and psychological ardiometabolic health risk factors to general population estimates globally. Obtaining adequate sleep, consuming healthy nutrition, and engaging in sufficient physical activity are three lifestyle behaviors that significantly reduce all-cause mortality and have a positive effect on short and long-term cardiometabolic health. In a series of controlled clinical trials utilizing face-to-face and digital modes of delivery, the effectiveness of a 16-week personalized healthy eating, sleep hygiene, and physical activity program was evaluated for enhancing cardiometabolic health parameters among airline pilots.
