Abstract
Barbara Harding, PhD, is an epidemiologist & Assistant Professor in the University of New Mexico College of Population Health who studies how night shift work and artificial light at night affect cardiometabolic health. She co-coordinated the EPHOR Night Shift Study, which collects biomarker data from night and day shift workers. According to Harding, night shift workers face greater risk of adverse outcomes from poor sleep, disrupted circadian rhythms and increased social stressors, which may differ by sex; EPHOR looks to assess these relationships by gender, work duration, and history.
