Abstract
Mortality of Shift Workers.
Highlights
Taylor & Pocock [1] performed the first study using modern epidemiological methods
The analysis presented results on indirect standardization, ie, the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) among day, shift, and ex-shift workers, using the general population as a reference
The results showed SMR of 97.3, 101.5 and 118.9 [95% confidence interval 99.0–141.7] for the three groups respectively
Summary
Taylor & Pocock [1] performed the first study using modern epidemiological methods. The cohort included 8603 male manual workers followed for 12 years. Is shift work associated with higher mortality risk? Mortality risk includes concerns that reflect incidence and case fatality, treatment, information of death certificates, and competing causes of death – especially in advanced age. The cohort included 8603 male manual workers followed for 12 years.
