• Description:
  Background: Our objective was to assess the influence of shiftwork on change in endothelial function. Methods: This longitudinal study was conducted in 188 police officers (78.2% men). Shiftwork status (day, afternoon, night) was assessed objectively using daily Buffalo, NY payroll work history records. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD) was assessed using ultrasound. Mean change in FMD% between 2004-2009 and 2010-2015 was compared across shiftwork using analysis of variance/covariance. Results: Overall, mean FMD% decreased from 5.74+2.83 to 3.88+2.11 over an average of 7 years among all officers; P<0.0001. Effect modification by gender was significant. Among men (but not women), those who worked day shifts had a smaller mean (+SE) decrease in FMD% (-0.89+0.35) compared with those who worked the afternoon (-2.69+0.39; P=0.001) or night shifts (-2.31+0.45; P=0.020) after risk factor adjustment. Conclusions: Larger declines in endothelial function were observed among men who worked afternoon or night shifts. Further investigation is warranted. [Description provided by NIOSH]
