Completely anecdotal - but the guys I know in trades have a larger proportion that smoke/drink heavily compared to the office workers I know. Would be curious if there’s a study that compares “health nut” physical trade workers with “health nut” office workers. Still as you said, there’s a lot of risk with relying on physical capabilities for work. If an office worker gets injured outside of work, you can still do the basic job. If a physical tradeworker gets injured outside of work, you could be out of a paycheck.
