Abstract
Shift work may be a potential occupational risk factor for multiple sclerosis (MS).
- Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
- Disruption of circadian rhythms due to shift work could contribute to the development of MS.
- Exposure to shift work before the age of 20 is thought to pose an additional risk for developing MS.
