Summary
Excess cardiovascular death is common in rotating shiftwork and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) populations. Substantial evidence links sleep disturbance in both ‘states’ to these adverse outcomes. This research will quantify the cardiovascular risk that sleep disturbance poses in both populations, determine whether people with untreated OSA who engage in shiftwork have amplified risk and determine whether a novel diet of high protein during shiftwork reduces risk. The findings may provide strate ....Excess cardiovascular death is common in rotating shiftwork and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) populations.

This research will quantify the cardiovascular risk that sleep disturbance poses in both populations, determine whether people with untreated OSA who engage in shiftwork have amplified risk and determine whether a novel diet of high protein during shiftwork reduces risk. The findings may provide strategies that could improve health in shiftworkers.Read moreRead less
