BEIJING, July 25 (UPI) -- Workers whose jobs include rotating shifts may be at a heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes. That according to a new study conducted by health researchers in China.
Researchers analyzed twelve different diabetes studies, encompassing data from a total of 226,652 participants. The survey found a significant link between shift work and type 2 diabetes, the most common type. Stronger correlations were found between male shift workers and those working rotating or predominantly nighttime shifts.
