It is based 38 meta-analyses 24 systematic reviews, with additional narrative reviews articles used for outlining possible mechanisms by which may cause accidents adverse health. Evidence shows that effect of sleep mainly concerns acute loss in connection night shifts early morning shifts. A link also exists between accidents, type 2 diabetes (relative risk range 1.09-1.40), weight gain, coronary heart disease 1.23), stroke 1.05), cancer 1.01-1.32), although original studies showed mixed results. The relations cardiometabolic diseases mimic those sleep. Laboratory indicate stress cognitive impairments are increased work, as well loss. Given health safety consequences very similar, they likely share common mechanisms. However, research needed determine whether a causal pathway effects associated work.

Compared adjusting age, gender, education fatigue/sleep baseline, shifts was increased days (risk ratio = 1.38, 95% interval 1.17-1.63) 8.04, 2.88-22.5, adjustment education) after follow-up.
