Shift work associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes - Medical News Today: By the year 2025, the number of cases of type 2 diabetes is estimated to increase by 65%, with the condition affecting a projected total of 380 million individuals worldwide. Therefore, identifying modifiable risk factors is of significant public health importance.
People who work rotating shifts have a 42% increased risk for type 2 diabetes, according to the meta-analysis.
Previously, studies have examined how shift work - irregular or unusual work schedules, such as working a combination of nights and days - might be associated with an increased risk for diabetes, but results have been inconsistent.
