Link between rotating night shift work and artery wall thickness in Chinese steelworkers
Updated
Abstract
The mean carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) among 3,582 steelworkers was 0.66 mm.
- Current shift workers had a higher mean CIMT compared to day workers.
- No significant associations were found between night shift work and mean CIMT after adjusting for confounding factors.
- This study suggests that rotating night shift work is not linked to subclinical atherosclerosis in this population.
- Further large-scale studies may be needed to confirm these findings.
