“…Accordingly, airline pilots have been affected by decreased work availability [1], job security, financial concerns, increased time spent confined to the indoors due to self-isolation requirements during travel [3], and limited control over food choices during hotel self-isolation after flying internationally. The consequent psychosocial impacts of these conditions may adversely affect the engagement in health promoting behaviors [4].…”

“…For example, financial insecurity, elevated psychosocial stress, and emotional dysregulation may lower motivation and limit accessibility to healthful dietary behaviors [7,8]. Further, stay at home isolation and lockdown measures present an inhibitory effect on engagement in physical activity [4,9].…”

“…Overweight, obesity and hypertension are independently associated with unhealthy lifestyle behaviors; insufficient sleep, poor diet, and physical inactivity [15][16][17][18]. Widespread societal and economic implications of COVID-19 present perturbations to these health behaviors [3,4,8,10]. Unhealthy lifestyle risk factors synonymous with an elevated risk of non-communicable disease are a risk factor for COVID-19 complications and severity of health outcomes following infection [6].…”

The aim of this study was to perform a 12-month follow-up of health parameters after a 17-week lifestyle intervention in overweight airline pilots. A parallel-group (intervention and control) study was conducted amongst 72 overweight airline pilots (body mass index > 25) over a 12-month period following the emergence of COVID-19. The intervention group (n = 35) received a personalized dietary, sleep, and physical activity program over a 17-week period. The control group (n = 37) received no intervention. Measurements for subjective health (physical activity, sleep quality and quantity, fruit and vegetable intake, and self-rated health) via an electronic survey, and objective measures of body mass and blood pressure were taken at baseline and at 12 months. Significant interactions for group × time from baseline to 12-months were found for all outcome measures (p < 0.001). Body mass and mean arterial pressure significantly decreased in the intervention group when compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Outcome measures for subjective health (physical activity, sleep quality and quantity, fruit and vegetable intake, and self-rated health) significantly increased in the intervention group when compared to the control group (p < 0.001). Results provide preliminary evidence that a brief three-component healthy sleep, diet and physical activity intervention can elicit and sustain long-term improvements in body mass and blood pressure management, health behaviors, and perceived subjective health in pilots and may support quality of life during an unprecedented global pandemic.

“…The air transportation sector is a primordial success factor for both developed and developing countries' economies to increase their national incomes, as well as realize cultural and social progress, and contribute to their wealth and prosperity (McBride et al, 2021). Although this sector is the subject of continuous development in terms of safety and security, it is susceptible to an economic, social, political, and medical crisis using the latest modern technologies (Miller, 2002).…”

This study examines the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on air transportation in the European Union to predict volume of European air transport according to the official number of infected people. It proposes convenient response strategies that airlines companies could adopt to overcome Covid-19 consequences. Three variables have been collected for each EU country: people air transporting, goods air transporting, and recorded number of Covid-19 infected people on the period between 1/1/2020 and 30/6/2020. We use Ordinary Least Square (OLS) to analyze the impact of Covid-19 on the investigated variables and to predict the number of people and volume of goods transported. We use the Hausman test and redundant fixed effects-likelihood test to determine the most appropriate model. Then, four evolution possibilities of the Covid-19 epidemic have been subtracted; for each one, an appropriate response strategy has been proposed for airlines companies. Results indicate that there is a significant negative impact of Covid-19 on the number of people and volume of goods transported by air in the European Union. Each additional infected person in the EU will lead to a decrease of 99 air passengers. Also, each additional infected people in the EU led to a decrease of 0.075 tons in air goods transportation. Airline companies are recommended to adopt a number of strategies to overcome Covid-19 consequences, such as establishing partnerships, developing markets, and initiating acquisitions. European governments should increase their support to airline companies, and more money should be invested in Research and Development (R&D) to increase flexibility in defeating pandemics.

IntroductionThis study protocol specifies the primary research line and theoretical framework of the 2023 Survey of the Psychology and Behavior of the Chinese Population. It aims to establish a consistent database of Chinese residents' psychological and behavioral surveys through multi‐center and large‐sample cross‐sectional surveys to provide robust data support for developing research in related fields. It will track the public's physical and psychological health more comprehensively and systematically.MethodsThe study was conducted from June 20, 2023 to August 31, 2023, using stratified and quota sampling methods. A total of 150 cities across 800 communities/villages were surveyed, selected from China (Despite extensive coordination, we have been unable to contact our counterparts in the Taiwan region of China to obtain relevant statistical data). The questionnaires were distributed to the public one‐on‐one and face‐to‐face by trained surveyors. The questionnaires included basic information about the individual, personal health status, basic information about the family, the social environment in which the individual lives, psychological condition scales, behavioral level scales, other scales, and attitudes towards topical social issues. Supervisors conducted quality control during the distribution process and returned questionnaires, logically checked and cleaned for data analysis.DiscussionData collection has been finished, and scientific outputs based on this data will support the development of health promotion strategies in China and globally. In the aftermath of the pandemic, it will guide policymakers and healthcare organizations to improve their existing policies and services to maximize the physical and mental health of the Chinese population.Trial RegistrationThis study was filed in the National Health Security Information Platform (Record No.: MR‐37‐23‐017876) and officially registered in the China Clinical Trials Registry (Registration No.: ChiCTR2300072573).
