AI simplified
Abstract
An excess risk of cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) is observed among employees working night shifts, with a hazard ratio of 1.69 for those working ≥3 consecutive night shifts more than 15 times.
- Employees working night shifts more than 30 times in a year have a 44% increased risk of CeVD.
- Those with a long duration of night shift work, exceeding 5 years, show a 87% increased risk of CeVD.
- Frequent quick returns from night shifts (less than 28 hours) are associated with a 52% increased risk of CeVD.
- A dose-response pattern is evident, indicating that the more frequent or longer the night shift work, the higher the risk of CeVD.
