The risk of DVT is low in people who are in otherwise good health.
Additionally, the risk is the same whether you are sitting next to a window or
sitting on a couch at home. Immobility increases the risk, not air travel.
It makes sense that there is a statistical correlation between people
sitting in the window seat and DVT, but correlation is not causation.
I'm not at a higher risk for DVT because I prefer a window seat, I'm at
a higher risk for DVT because I don't generally feel the need to leave
my seat for most of my flights. I choose a window seat so that I don't
need to move when I get stuck beside a passenger that needs a washroom
break four times in a three hour flight.
