HRs for the association between shift work and incident AF during extensive follow-up of up to 31 years: the Tromsø Study

HR (95% CI)P value
Model 1: unadjusted
 0.88 (0.76 to 1.02)0.083
Model 2: adjusted for age and sex
 1.07 (0.92 to 1.23)0.385
Model 3: adjusted for age, sex and CHARGE-AF risk model
 1.03 (0.89 to 1.20)0.675
Model 4: adjusted for age, sex, CHARGE-AF risk model, education level and physical activity
 1.02 (0.88 to 1.19)0.773
  • HRs and p values represent the association between shift work and incident AF during extensive follow-up (number of AF cases=1244) in the total study population (n=22 339). Components of the CHARGE-AF risk model were weight, height, systolic and diastolic blood pressures, antihypertensive drug use, diabetes, smoking and history of myocardial infarction.

  • AF, atrial fibrillation.
