Given these factors, I don't find the also many hams i know are vets, that is to say, they were exposed to situations and environs that most of us were not.. my room-mate dan, his dad was with the 101st ABN in WW-II. he was later used in nuke tests, he and his group were in trenches 10 miles from a test, all the guys at the 8 mile trench are dead or on the way with cancer and other auto immune troubles.. not to say this is true for everyone, but many hams i know have been in military or other technical service, and exposed to more than their share of many things..
