US scientists have found that human activities, in particular, their place of work, have a significant impact not only on their health, but also on life expectancy.

Specialists identified professions that can significantly shorten a person’s life. According to research, the most dangerous in terms of high risk of death are sales, customer support, and maintenance..

At the same time, the lowest chances of an early or sudden death are people working in managerial positions. Managers, unlike other professions, are less prone to cardiovascular disease.

Researchers noted another interesting pattern: most often obesity occurs in firefighters and police, while 70% of sales and customer support workers tend to develop unhealthy eating habits. So, for example, 25% of transport employees drink alcohol and are heavy smokers.
