Night shift work characteristics and 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (MT6s) in rotating night shift nurses and midwives.
OBJECTIVES Synthesis of melatonin follows a circadian cycle, with high melatonin levels during the night and low levels during the day. Light exposure at night has been hypothesised as one of potential mechanisms of breast carcinogenesis in the night shift workers through inhibition of melatonin synthesis. The aim of the study was to examine a number of determinants for night shift work in rela...
متن کاملAssociation of Rotating Night Shift Work with BMI and Abdominal Obesity among Nurses and Midwives
BACKGROUND Mounting epidemiological evidence suggests that night shift work may contribute to the etiology of increased body weight. The present study aimed to examine association between rotating night shift work and body mass index (BMI), and abdominal adiposity respectively among nurses and midwives. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 724 female nurses and midwives, aged 4...
متن کاملRotating night shift work and mammographic density.
BACKGROUND An increased risk of breast cancer has been observed in night shift workers. Exposure to artificial light at night and disruption of the endogenous circadian rhythm with suppression of the melatonin synthesis have been suggested mechanisms. We investigated the hypothesis that rotating night shift work is associated with mammographic density. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional s...
متن کاملThe effect of Bright light on Fatigue and sleepiness in night shift work nurses
Objective: In this study we assessed the effect of bright light emitted by light box on fatigue, and sleepiness in nurses. Methods: 44 healthy female shift work nurses were allocated into two groups of intervention and control. In the first stage, bright light was emitted to the nurses in the intervention group by the light box, and bright light was not emitted to the control group. In the nex...
متن کاملNight shift work and levels of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin and cortisol in men.
BACKGROUND Night shift work is associated with cancer among men, but the biologic mechanism is unclear. We investigated whether male night shift workers showed changes in levels of melatonin and cortisol, potential biomarkers of cancer risk. METHODS Urine was collected from 185 night shift and 158 day shift-working male healthcare providers, aged 22 to 55 years, throughout work and sleep peri...
