Cumulative Night Shift Work and Incident Cardiovascular Disease: Gutenberg Health Study
Summary
Exposure‑response patterns between years of night work and incident CVD were examined in a German population cohort.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
A cohort followed over time how timing of light, sleep, meals, and schedules tracked with sleep, alertness, recovery, and metabolic markers for night‑shift workers and night owls. Overall, the data make the schedule itself visible in physiology, not just in how people feel subjectively. For the audience living on night schedules, the key meaning is that the schedule’s timing choices show up in measurable outcomes.
