Can tight clothes on planes affect health
Wearing tight clothing during long flights does not directly cause blood clots, as the main factor is prolonged sitting without movement, which slows blood flow in the legs and increases the risk of deep vein thrombosis, especially in the presence of risk factors such as medical history or certain health conditions. Medical compression stockings help improve circulation and reduce this risk by applying graduated pressure to the legs. People at risk are advised to use them or consult a doctor before traveling. It is also recommended to wear loose, comfortable clothing and supportive shoes to reduce swelling and facilitate blood flow during long journeys.
