Association of sleep duration, sleep apnea, and shift work with risk of colorectal neoplasms: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although studies have reported that certain sleep characteristics, such as sleep duration and sleep apnea, are linked to the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), this link remains contentious because of the limited evidence from individual studies. Furthermore, evidence indicated that shift work involving circadian disruption as a probable human carcinogen. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to examine the associations between sleep duration, sleep apnea, and shift work with the risk of colorectal neoplasms, including CRC and colorectal adenoma (CRA).

Methods

We conducted a comprehensive literature search in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases. The inclusion criteria were determined using PICOS principles. Observational studies reporting associati
