Circadian Rhythm. Sleep-wake. Night work.Abstract
Studies have shown a significant correlation between night work and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Working at night can disrupt the circadian rhythm, leading to changes in the sleep-wake cycle and, consequently, a series of health problems. Objective: to evaluate associations between shift work/long working hours and cardiovascular disease risk outcomes. Materials and methods: This is an integrative review of the literature, including research in the electronic database PubMed. To search for articles, the descriptors “night work” and “cardiovascular diseases” were used. The delimitation of the research time frame began in 2019. As it was a study with a defined time limit, it was decided to restrict the search until April 2024. Eight articles were found to compose the review. Result and discussion: Shift work and certain sleep disorders, such as insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, and reduced sleep, can cause a state of circadian misalignment, which increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. This effect can be attributed directly to cortisol and melatonin levels or indirectly through their effects on metabolic and immunological functions. Conclusion: According to our study, we can conclude that shift work can further contribute to increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
