TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Health-related quality of life in pilots of a Chinese commercial airline JO - Archives of environmental and occupational health A1 - Liu, Tiebing A1 - Qiu, Bing A1 - Zhang, Chuanyin A1 - Deng, Mingzhao A1 - Liang, Zhaohui A1 - Qi, Yanmin SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) is currently an important issue in the medical industry. However, data on HRQOL in commercial airline pilots are lacking. This study aimed to investigate HRQOL and its related factors in a sample of commercial pilots. A purposive sample of 373 participants was recruited from a Chinese Commercial Airline. The median (IQR) score for physical health, psychological health and social relationship were 64.3 (75-53.6), 62.5 (70.8-54.2) and 75 (75-58.3), respectively. The mean (SD) score for Environment was 62.2 (16). After controlling for demographics, the multiple linear regression analyses showed that physical activity, fruit intake and vegetable intake were positively correlated with HRQOL score (pā<ā.05), while time-zone flights, smoking, alcohol drinking and being dyslipidemic showed a negative correlation with HRQOL score (pā<ā.05). Healthcare providers should consider time-zone flights, behavioral factors and dyslipidemia when planning related health promotion and disease prevention programs for commercial pilots in the future.
