Dose-Response Relationship between Night Work and the Prevalence of Impaired Fasting Glucose: The Korean Worker's Special Health Examination for Night Workers Cohort.

ABSTRACT: Many studies have been conducted regarding the association between night work and diabetes, but the association between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and night work is still unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate this association using the Special Health Examination (SHEW) for Korean night workers. Laboratory, questionnaire, and physical examination data were collected for 80,077 manual workers between 2014 and 2016 from Korea Medical Institute, and associations of the data with IFG were evaluated using a multivariate logistic regression model. The odds ratios for IFG among those who worked night shifts for 2~5 years, 5~12 years, and 12 years or over (ref: <2 years) after adjusting for abdominal obesity were 1.14 (0.90-1.45), 1.41 (1.10-1.81), and 1.75 (1.41-2.19), respectively.
