abstract="The U.S. government spends approximately $300,000 to train an Army aviator. Maintaining a healthy aviator population is important not only to the completion of the aviation mission, but also for budgetary reasons. We reviewed Army aviator physical examinations and self-reported risk behavior questionnaires from the Aeromedical Epidemiological Data Repository at Fort Rucker, Alabama, to assess aviator health. Overall, aviators are healthy adults; however, the health status of aviators can be improved by reducing tobacco use, limiting cholesterol and fat intake, and wearing hearing protection devices both during and off duty.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
