Night Shift Work Characteristics and Incident Coronary Heart Disease
Summary
Exposure‑response relations between quantitative night‑work characteristics and coronary heart disease were examined to inform low‑risk schedules.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
Longitudinal tracking how rotation direction, quick‑returns, and long duties tracked with sleep, alertness, recovery, and metabolic markers 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.
