I wonder if there is study correlating ones overall health with number of flights he takes every month.

This [1] article references a study [2] you might be interested in.

Quoting from the article: "The study, which synthesises existing research on the effects of frequent travel, finds three types of consequence: physiological, psychological and emotional, and social."

if you're taking >= 1 flight per month, you're probably easily in the top 5% percentile bracket for income world-wide. so, with an appropriately broad perspective, you're probably relatively healthy.

Either that, or your job requires you to be on a flight every month. There /are/ such jobs.

Since flights generally take you to places with diseases your immune system isn't familiar with, I doubt you could use this to conclude anything interesting about the planes themselves.
