Rotating 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 کاملNight 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 کاملRotating night shift work and the risk of ischemic stroke.

The Nurses' Health Study, an ongoing cohort study of registered female nurses, assessed in 1988 the total number of years the nurses had worked rotating night shifts. The majority (69%) of stroke outcomes from 1988 to ...
متن کاملRotating night shift work and risk of ovarian cancer.
BACKGROUND Night shift work has been associated with higher risks of breast and endometrial cancer, but few studies have evaluated associations with other reproductive cancers. METHODS We examined the association between rotating night shift work and risk of ovarian cancer during 20 years of follow-up in 181,548 women participating in two large cohort studies, the Nurses' Health Study (NHS) a...
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...
