Shift Workers’ Mortality Scrutinized

Chronobiology International, 2004
The objective of this article is to reappraise previous published data on the mortality of male shift workers from Taylor and Pocock (1972). Mortality rate ratios were calculated for shift workers, ex-shift workers, and for shift workers plus ex-shift workers, respectively, compared to day workers using the Mantel-Haenszel method.
