Rotating Night Shift Work, Exposure to Light at Night, and Glomerular Filtration Rate: Baseline Results from a Chinese Occupational Cohort.

ABSTRACT: The misalignment between the circadian clock and behavioral cycles has been implicated in pathogenesis of many diseases. The main purpose of this study is to examine the association between rotating night shift work, exposure to light at night, and glomerular filtration rate among steelworkers in north China. A total of 6869 steelworkers, aged 22 to 60 years, were included in this study. Multivariable logistic regression was used to examine the association between night shift work, the brightness of bedroom ambient light at night (LAN), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), with adjustment for potential confounders. Mediation analysis was performed to examine the mediation effect of potential mediators on the association of duration of night shifts and eGFR. Long duration of nig
