Abstract

Shift work is associated with disruptions in circadian rhythms and potential links to cardiovascular diseases.

  • Longitudinal data from the German Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study was analyzed to investigate these associations.
  • Shift work may impact cardiovascular health over time.
  • Night-shift work could be particularly relevant to understanding the relationship with cardiovascular diseases.
