“…Expanding our ongoing work 5 in the context of relevant research from chronic disease, injury, and occupational epidemiology; exposome; and commercial driver health and safety (scan of PubMed 2000-2023), including seminal relevant publications of the National Academies, [57][58][59][60][61][62] we introduce the emerging "working life exposome of commercial driving" (WLE-CD). We define the WLE-CD as the totality of an array of heterogeneous, multifactorial and multilayered, and interdependent work, work-related, and in/directly relevant nonwork exposures and associated biological responses and endogenous processes that concurrently or sequentially impact commercial drivers' wellbeing from conception onwards, throughout and beyond their working lifetime.…”

Excess health and safety risks of commercial drivers are largely determined by, embedded in, or operate as complex, dynamic, and randomly determined systems with interacting parts. Yet, prevailing epidemiology is entrenched in narrow, deterministic, and static exposure‐response frameworks along with ensuing inadequate data and limiting methods, thereby perpetuating an incomplete understanding of commercial drivers' health and safety risks. This paper is grounded in our ongoing research that conceptualizes health and safety challenges of working people as multilayered “wholes” of interacting work and nonwork factors, exemplified by complex‐systems epistemologies. Building upon and expanding these assumptions, herein we: (a) discuss how insights from integrative exposome and network‐science‐based frameworks can enhance our understanding of commercial drivers' chronic disease and injury burden; (b) introduce the “working life exposome of commercial driving” (WLE‐CD)—an array of multifactorial and interdependent work and nonwork exposures and associated biological responses that concurrently or sequentially impact commercial drivers' health and safety during and beyond their work tenure; (c) conceptualize commercial drivers' health and safety risks as multilayered networks centered on the WLE‐CD and network relational patterns and topological properties—that is, arrangement, connections, and relationships among network components—that largely govern risk dynamics; and (d) elucidate how integrative exposome and network‐science‐based innovations can contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of commercial drivers' chronic disease and injury risk dynamics. Development, validation, and proliferation of this emerging discourse can move commercial driving epidemiology to the frontier of science with implications for policy, action, other working populations, and population health at large.

Commercial drivers suffer from sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition and numerous stressors that can impact their health. This study aimed to assess the health lifestyle risk level of microbus drivers in Giza, Egypt, and to compare their level of readiness for change with their knowledge about chronic diseases of lifestyle, before and after an educational intervention. Data were collected from 235 long-distance microbus drivers via a health lifestyle assessment questionnaire, pre-post-tests of a health education module, and the readiness for change questionnaire. The majority of drivers had high risk scores in the eating habits, exercises/fitness and safety sections. A highly significant difference was found in chronic diseases of lifestyle knowledge scores and in readiness for change scores before and after the intervention. A positive correlation was found between readiness for change and knowledge pre-and post-intervention. Further studies are needed of barriers for drivers to change their health lifestyles.
