Night and Shift‑Work Patterns and Next‑Year Type 2 Diabetes Incidence
Summary
Permanent night work and frequent night shifts predicted higher odds of T2D the following year; patterns mattered more than hypertension.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Follow‑up data how rotation direction, quick‑returns, and long duties linked to blood pressure for night‑shift workers and night owls. Patterns in the data make ‘quick returns’ and rotation direction concrete risk features rather than abstract policy terms. For night‑shift teams and individuals, this ties long‑debated rota features to concrete outcomes, making schedule talk about health, not preference.
