Suwazono Y et al. - The association between shift work and an increase in blood pressure was investigated adjusting for age, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c, total serum cholesterol, creatinine, aspartate aminotransferase, -glutamyl transpeptidase, uric acid, drinking habit, smoking habit, and habitual exercise by multivariate pooled logistic regression analyses. Study revealed that alternating shift work was a significant independent risk factor for an increase in blood pressure. Moreover, the effect of shift work on blood pressure was more pronounced than other well-established factors, such as age and body mass index.
