abstract="The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of age in French naval crew on risk-proneness. We tested 130 male navy personnel, age range 19-41 yr, with EVAR, a visual analog scale designed to rate risk-proneness and composed of 24 items distributed among 5 factors: &quot;self control,&quot; &quot;danger-seeking&quot; &quot;energy,&quot; &quot;impulsiveness,&quot; and &quot;invincibility.&quot; We observed a significant negative correlation between &quot;energy&quot; and age, whereas the other factors were not influenced by age. Risk-proneness change is limited and should not be a safety issue in the decision-making process if the age of navy crews is going to increase moderately.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
