Association between shift work and periodontal health in a representative sample of an Asian population

Abstract: This study is the first step toward understanding the relationship between shift work and oral health. The results indicate that shift work might be associated with periodontitis. Therefore, it would be desirable to monitor shift workers' oral health status to identify high risk workers with different work schedules to increase their health.Affiliation:

“…In our study, the younger group (workers aged < 45 years) showed significant associations between occupational noise and periodontitis after full adjustment in the exposed group with a severe problem with noise exposure (Table ). Some studies have reported that age is negatively associated with work ability and the critical age for decreasing tolerance to shift work is between 40 and 50 years . However, evidences linking age with work tolerance in previous studies remain inconclusive .…”

“…Persons with periodontitis already show a higher chance of acquiring these diseases within a shift work society. [13] Type 2 Diabetes to cause Periodontitis It has been determined that susceptibility to Periodontitis is increased almost threefold in patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. [1] Much of the research gathered to support this relationship comes from studies performed on Pima Indians.…”

“…Results indicate that at risk workers working irregular shifts show a higher percentage of periodontitis, with most at risk groups to be less than the age of 45. [13] Shift work also results in increased risk of obesity and Type 2 Diabetes due to irregular sleep schedules and irregular metabolism due to eating at wrong times. Activities affecting a person's circadian rhythm can directly impose upon risks such as periodontitis, Type 2 Diabetes, and obesity, which can all be the cause of one another.…”
