Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this work is to initiate or revive a scientific discussion on the impact of professional life on the parameters of human lifespan.

Material and methods: Presented analysis is based on 8578 Polish elite or well-known person who died in 2001-2021.

Results: The results of the conducted analysis indicate that in the case of men the highest values of the median age at death were characteristic of freelancers (median [Me] ± quartile deviation [QD] 85.5±8.5 years), followed by scientists and academic teachers of the biological and medical specialty (Me±QD 84.0±7.5 years) and officers of power structures (Me±QD 83.5±8.5 years). Subsequently, the highest value of the median age at death was recorded for social activists (Me±QD 83.0±9.5 years), clergy (Me±QD 82.0±7.5 years) and scientists and academic teachers of specialties other than biological and medical (Me±QD 82.0±8.0 years). Significantly, at the very end of this list are athletes (Me±QD 77.0±9.0 years). Nevertheless, the results of the analysis confirm that professional athletes are characterized by higher median age at death compared to the general population. Analysis made only within athletes group demonstrated that the parameters of lifespan of athletes of endurance disciplines (Me±QD 78.0±8.0 years) are the most favorable compared to athletes of other disciplines, in particular in compare to team sports athletes (Me±QD 75.0±10.0 years) or combat sports athletes (Me±QD 75.0±7.1 years).

Conclusions: What is new and innovative in this paper is comparing the lifespan characteristics of athletes in comparison to widely represented group of other professions with higher socio-economic status. Unexpectedly, the lifespan of athletes occurred to be lower than for fast all other analyzed occupational groups, except mainly of entertainment musicians. Finally, the results presented in this paper emphasize the need to analyze the lifespan characteristics of athletes in a broader scope than only in relation to the general population.

2001-2021 年波兰一流运动员与其他社会精英和知名人士的寿命比较。
目标:这项工作的目的是发起或恢复关于职业生活对人类寿命参数影响的科学讨论:分析对象为 2001-2021 年间去世的 8578 名波兰精英或知名人士:分析结果表明,男性死亡年龄中位数的最高值是自由职业者(中位数[Me]±四分位偏差[QD]85.5±8.5 岁),其次是生物和医学专业的科学家和学术教师(Me±QD 84.0±7.5岁)以及权力机构的官员(Me±QD 83.5±8.5岁)。随后,社会活动家(Me±QD 83.0±9.5岁)、神职人员(Me±QD 82.0±7.5岁)以及生物和医学专业以外的科学家和学术教师(Me±QD 82.0±8.0岁)的死亡年龄中值最高。值得注意的是,运动员(Me±QD 77.0±9.0岁)排在名单的最后。然而,分析结果证实,与普通人群相比,职业运动员的死亡年龄中位数更高。仅在运动员组内进行的分析表明,耐力项目运动员的寿命参数(Me±QD 78.0±8.0岁)与其他项目运动员相比是最有利的,特别是与团队运动运动员(Me±QD 75.0±10.0岁)或格斗项目运动员(Me±QD 75.0±7.1岁)相比:本文的新颖之处在于将运动员的寿命特征与社会经济地位较高的其他职业的广泛群体进行比较。出乎意料的是,运动员的寿命几乎低于所有其他被分析的职业群体,主要是娱乐音乐家除外。最后,本文介绍的结果强调,有必要在更广泛的范围内分析运动员的寿命特征,而不仅仅是与普通人群进行比较。Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2024;37(3).
