Night Shift Work Associates with All‑Cause and Cause‑Specific Mortality: UK Biobank
Summary
In UK Biobank participants, night shift exposure—especially 20–30 years—was associated with higher all‑cause and cardiovascular mortality hazards.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Prospective data how timing of light, sleep, meals, and schedules tracked with mortality 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.
Notes
Large population cohort; patterns and tenure matter.
