Most of the obese passengers would have the risk of blood clot if they sit in the window seat in flights. The research says that a DVT clot can cause death if it passes through a passenger's bloodstream to the lungs, causing pulmonary embolism..
A RECENT research by a group of experts of the Leiden University Medical Centre says that people, who sit by the window face in the flight, possess the risk of developing a fatal blood clot than those who sit either in the middle or aisle seats.
Generally passengers find it easier to fall asleep if they sit in window seats. A long hour sleep also helps to reduce the risk of developing a DVT during a long journey by air. While speaking to the media, the concerned researchers of the Leiden University Medical Centre said, “Passengers in a window seat had a two-fold increase in risk compared to those in an aisle seat, while there was no increase in risk in those in middle seats. One explanation may be that passengers are in a more cramped position in a window seat.”The study report also says that flying business class reduces the risk of a DVT by 30 per cent.
