Chronotype differences in the risk of cancers, diabetes mellitus, and poor mental health among shift workers: a meta-analysis

Chronotype-matched scheduling does not effectively mitigate night shift risks. Nevertheless, evening chronotype night shift workers are particularly susceptible to various chronic non-communicable diseases, with a notable positive dose-response relationship observed between prostate cancer and evening chronotype night shift workers.

Abstract

Chronotype-matched scheduling does not effectively mitigate night shift risks. Nevertheless, evening chronotype night shift workers are particularly susceptible to various chronic non-communicable diseases, with a notable positive dose-response relationship observed between prostate cancer and evening chronotype night shift workers.
