Scientists from Canada have published data that indicate a special danger to the health and lives of women. According to experts, such work poses a “mortal threat”, says MedicalXpress.
Work in the night time negatively affects the body’s production of melatonin – a hormone responsible for the regulation of cycles of sleep and wakefulness and antitumor action. Thus, working at night women dramatically increases the susceptibility of cancer, specifically breast cancer, the study by the canadian experts.
Their study involved 13 thousand women aged 55 to 59 years living in several European countries. Analyzing medical data of the participants, the researchers concluded: a job that makes you stay awake at least three nights a week, in a very large extent increases the risk of estrogen-receptor positive cancer and HER2-positive breast cancer developing breast cancer.
“The likelihood of developing breast cancer increases with the number of night hours spent on the job. 3 hours of the forced work after midnight, increase the risk of cancer by 12 percent. Ten-hour night shift for more than three nights a week raises the same risk by 80 percent,” stated the study authors.
