Age Dependent Alterations Induced by Transmeridian Flights in Airline Pilots

Abstract

Desynchronization among body rhythms and with the al environment appears to he linked with jet lag, which may depend on many factors, including age, flight direction and number of time-zones crossed. To analyze this chronobiological state, we performed a multivariate analysis of the circadian system of airline pilots younger and older than 50 years.
