Health, lifestyle and care barriers of night shift workers in Japan.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

A nationwide online survey in Japan compared night shift workers with other workers on long-term illness, daily habits and trouble getting medical care. People reported their own health once, so this shows a link, not proof that shift work causes anything. The paper covers chronic disease in general and reports no kidney-specific finding. It is dropped from today's brief for that reason.
