Abstract
A significant increase in total white blood cell counts in shift workers was found, with a mean difference of 0.43 × 10/L compared to day workers.
- Shift workers exhibited higher counts of lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils compared to day workers.
- Lymphocyte counts showed a mean difference of 0.16, while monocyte and eosinophil counts had mean differences of 0.04 and 0.01, respectively.
- Neutrophil and basophil counts were not significantly different between shift workers and day workers.
- The findings suggest that total and differential white blood cell counts may serve as biomarkers for health issues in shift workers.
- This analysis included data from 25 studies involving a total of 37,708 participants across multiple regions including America, Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East.
