Joint association of cumulative workplace environmental exposures and shift work with long-term work-limiting health conditions: a prospective cohort study from the UK Biobank
Co-occurrence of WEEs and shift work is associated with substantial excess risks of long-term work-limiting health conditions and loss of healthy working years. Strengthening control of WEEs and health surveillance for shift workers may be needed to protect working-age health and sustain productive employment.
