Mention of that recent academic report briefly popped up on Rumours and News and then promptly got dumped into the Cabin Crew section (‘cos of the thread title used) so I suspect got missed by many.

Here is a direct link to the report itself:

https://ehjournal.biomedcentral.com/...940-018-0396-8

Whilst the headlines are certainly interesting and the paper is worth a read fans of statistics and epidemiology will find some of the “discussion” section of the paper interesting since there’s lots in there that might raise eyebrows if you are a data collecting geek, including the fact that the authors of the survey themself comment that it seems the survey population was at least to some extent self selecting and that ”..... health outcomes in our study and in the NHANES were based on self-report; validation through medical records was not possible due to the scope and cost of this endeavor.”.....
