متن کاملNight shift work and the cardiovascular health of medical staff.
The cardiovascular risks associated with night shift work in medical staff have been suspected for several years. Kawachi et al. analysed coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence in 79 109 women from the Nurses Health Study, and observed raised rates among night shift workers, particularly those who had worked for 6 years on rotating shifts (51% increased risk).

In this study, we examined melatonin patterns in relation to shift status, stratified by chronotype and n...
