7/7/04 - Truck Driver Life Expectancy
<BACK | <UP
An item in a recent Roemer Report stated that while the average American
male lives to be 76-years old, the age expectancy drops drastically for
truck drivers. The typical male truck driver can expect to live to age
61, according to Dr. Martin Moore-Ede, a Toronto researcher.
The reason, perhaps predictably, boils down to lifestyle. United States
truck drivers typically eat poorly, lack exercise, and tend to smoke.
Making unhealthy eating choices alone can cause chronic diseases like
high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, arthritis, and
certain types of cancer. Smoking can lead to stroke, heart attack,
bronchitis, or emphysema.
With constant vigilance and a committed effort, truck drivers can live
healthier lives.
