I suggest you email RK FedEx ALPA Aeromedical guy. I had a conversation with him about the issue about 5 years ago. According to Ross ALPA did have a study done, but for some reason they have not published it. The result showed that pilots lived a long time, better than the general population.

The two Seaboard pilots that reached age 100 did most of their flying at a time where only a few weird guys were runners. Hotel gyms were unheard of. If you happened to be a non smoker you probably shared the cockpit with three smokers. If you were flying passenger flights the F/As came to the cockpit for a smoke break.

Yes we all read about the guy that dies of a heart attack at age 52 or the guy that dies of cancer at age 32. They are the exception.
One question, were you MANAGEMENT?
