| Popis: | Background: Despite the strong evidence on immunological effects of shift work and consequent vulnerability for infection, there is a dearth of evidence on the association between shift work and COVID-19 infection. The main objective of this study is to assess whether shift work, particularly night shift, increases the odds of COVID-19 infection. Methods: This study is based on the data from UK Biobank participants who were tested for COVID-19 infection, covering the period from 16th March to 27th July 2020. Participants were categorised as non-shift workers, day shift workers, mixed shift workers and night shift workers. The prospective association between shift work and COVID-19 infection were explored after controlling for age, gender, ethnic minority status, income, education, Townsend deprivation quintile, sleep duration, sleep problems, daytime sleepiness, overall health and obesity. Findings: Among the 12,428 participants ((13.2% positive cases) around 1 in 6 were frontline health workers (16.2%) with 1 in 5 involved in a shift work-based job (21.2%). Within the shift work-based jobs, people who worked mostly night shift were at the highest risk of COVID-19 infection (23.6%, P-value |
