The sector undergoes a medical checkup

A recent study conducted by the manufacturer Scania and the Occupational Risk Prevention company Cualtis has analyzedthe habits of transport professionals through 27,000 medical examinations of workers between 18 and 65 years of age.

Among the conclusions, it is worth noting that 60% of the carriers never or almost never do any sport. Closely related to this data is the fact that at least 41% of them are overweight and another 32% obese.

It is also known that 42% would maintain a healthy diet and their hypertension data is generally similar to that of the rest of the population.

The most common pathologies in these examinations are those related to their profession, such as bone and joint problems, which are typical of workers who spend a lot of time sitting or standing.
