The increased risk of diabetes mellitus associated with shift work is significantly higher in men than in women, and highest in those working rotating shifts.
If you are a man working rotating shifts, your risk for diabetes is significantly higher than other groups. This may be linked to how shift work affects your hormones and sleep. Prioritize regular health screenings for blood sugar and discuss your specific schedule with your healthcare provider to implement targeted preventive measures.
Subgroup analyses suggested a stronger association between shift work and DM for men (OR=1.37, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.56) than for women (OR=1.09, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.14)... The highest point estimate was noted for rotating shifts (OR=1.42, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.69).
Why this rating
Based on subgroup analysis of the same high-quality meta-analysis; interaction p-values were significant.
