Non-occupational physical activity levels of shift workers compared with non-shift workers [PDF]
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2016 Lack of physical activity (PA) has been hypothesised as an underlying mechanism in the adverse health effects of shift work. Therefore, our aim was to compare non-occupational PA levels between shift workers and non-shift workers. Furthermore, exposure-response relationships for frequency of night shifts and years of shift work regarding non ...
