Abstract |
The objective of this literature survey was to evaluate the epidemiologic evidence for a causal relation between shift work and ischemic heart disease. Relevant information was retrieved from 14 studies. Most studies based on fatal events showed no or weak associations while studies that combined fatal and non-fatal events showed modest positive associations. Overall, the epidemiological evidence for a causal relation between shift work and ischemic heart disease was found to be weak and inconclusive. |
