Do you continue to work in night shifts? This serious disease can be done

The study found that the risk of moderate or severe asthma in women working only in night shift was about 50 percent more than women working in day shifts. Dr. Robert Medestone of the University of Manchester, UK said, “Asthma in women is more serious than men. In women, asthma is hospitalized and death rate is also higher.”

This is the first study that examined the gender -based difference between the work of the shift and asthma. Researchers found that 5.3 percent of people had asthma, of which 1.9 percent had moderate or severe asthma, ie they were taking asthma medicines and inhalers.

Research did not make it clear why there is a relationship between night shifts and asthma, but researchers say that this can be due to disturbances in the body’s body clock, affecting the level of male and female hormones.

The high level of testosterone in men provides protection from asthma, which is less in women. In addition, men and women work in different shifts, which may be a reason. Dr. Medstone said, “HRT can protect women from asthma working in night shifts, but more research is needed.”

After menopause, the risk of asthma was found to be high in women who were not taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The risk of asthma in such women who shifted night shifts was doubled compared to the work in the day.

Researchers are now planning to know whether sex hormones have any connection between work and asthma in shifts.
