I would find it interesting to know if there's any data on skin cancer incidence amongst pilots, as compared to the general community. For that matter, is there any data supporting a different rate of incidence of any ailments for pilots, as compared to the general community, i.e. occupational diseases. I have, for example, heard that our life expectancy is about 5 years less than the norm, but never seen any statistics to support this.
