| Abstract |
This longitudinal study involving Japanese workers investigated the effect of alternating shift work (ASW) on the onset of diabetes mellitus compared with onset in day-shift work (DSW). It was carried out on a DSW group of 3203 workers and an ASW group of 2426 workers of a steel company and was based on annual check-up data from 1991 to 2001. The association between job schedule type and onset of diabetes mellitus (glycated haemoglobin Alc≥6.0% or medication) was investigated by multivariate logistic regression. The odds ratio for the development of diabetes mellitus in the ASW group compared with the DSW group was 1.35. The study revealed that ASW is an independent risk factor for the onset of diabetes mellitus. |
