Overview

This review highlights how shift work disrupts circadian rhythms and increases chronic disease risk, indicating the need for better work schedules.

Key Points

  • This review examines the effects of shift work on circadian rhythms and its association with chronic diseases.
  • Evidence sourced from PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus.
  • Focus on original studies of adult workers with shift-work exposure.
  • Review articles used to explain biological mechanisms and frameworks.
  • Shift work is linked to poor sleep quality and circadian desynchronization.
  • Higher rates of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes found in shift workers compared to daytime workers.
  • Night-shift workers experience more severe depressive and anxiety symptoms.
