Abrupt work schedules, such as nightshifts, are prevalent nowadays and are known to cause circadian misalignment and sleep disruption which can have adverse health consequences. Among the well documented pathologies among night workers are cardiometabolic impairments, the effects of which appear to be more disruptive in older adults due to their poorer adaptation to night work schedules. The physiological mechanisms by which night shift work and sleep disruption contribute to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk are poorly understood. Furthermore, the potential role of specific CVD ...
