May 23, 2023Influence of Shift Work on Arterial Stiffness and Systemic Inflammation
A team led by Marit Skogstad from the Oslo University Hospital studied the influence of shift work on arterial stiffness and systemic inflammation on 86 workers. At baseline, the study found higher levels of markers of inflammation among shift workers as compared with control subjects (day workers). Over a three-year follow-up, the shift workers had a significantly higher increase in PWV compared with day workers reflecting a possible increase in arterial stiffness.
