Objectives: Evidence suggests that shift work results in adverse occupational health outcomes. This paper contributes to the literature by estimating the separate health effects of night and irregular shift work on longitudinal panel of US workers. Methods: Data from a 20-year panel of worker surveys from the 1979 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth were used to predict self-reported health limitations related to night and irregular shift work using a series of random effects logit models. Results: Separate and combined specifications of shift work as night and irregular effort significantly increase the odds of health limitations compared to working a regular daytime schedule, with more pronounced effects for irregular work (OR = 1.09-1.52) over night shift (OR = 1.03-1.14). Conclusions: The results suggest that both night and irregular shift work may have important negative implications on occupational health, with the deleterious effects particularly pronounced for irregularly scheduled work effort. |
