    Abstract:
    Medical stress factors in the tropics include the climate itself, factors related to travel (jet lag, means of transport), insects, low standards of hygiene, infectious diseases, socio-economic problems, and psychosocial stress. This chapter from the Joint Aviation Authority Aviation Medical Regulations explores these stresses as they relate to aircrew and the aviation medical examiners who treat them.
