Abstract
Retrospective health analysis was performed having the data from 211 airline pilots and 168 flight mechanics with symptoms of chronic neurosensorybradyacusia gathered in the period from 2015 to 2020. There were 2 control groups. One group consisted of bus drivers comparable to pilots in terms of acoustic environment and work intensity. The other group included power station operators working in standard acoustic environments and doing intensive work. The investigation revealed a statistical difference between the pilots and control groups in the rates of cardiovascular diseases (22.45 vs. 7.08 and 71.19 in the control groups), respiratory diseases (0.18 vs. 0.07 and 0.44), digestive diseases (17.13 vs. 1.90 and 154.21), musculoskeletal (15.44 vs. 15.44 and 254.97), neural, urogenital diseases (11.49 vs. 0.79 and 167.61). In comparison with the control groups, pilots were at a higher risk of cerebral atherosclerosis (13.79 vs. 2.81 and 67.58), essential hypertension (14.25 vs. 1.01 and 200.78), spinal osteochondrosis (3.00 vs. 0.39 and 22.95), prostate hyperplasia (2.29 vs. 0.11 and 48.82) and chronic prostatitis (3.43 vs. 0.20 and 57.65). Also stated was a statistical difference in the medium of chronic diseases at the retirement age in pilots and flight mechanics in comparison with the control members: (6 (4–8) pilots, 6 (4.5–8.0) flight mechanics, 3 (1–5) drivers, 2 (1–3) operators; р< 0.05).
