Abstract Shift work has serious health impacts due to desynchronization of the circadian rhythm; consequently, workers have increased sleep disturbances. Another impact is working hours, which can contribute decreased sun exposure and lead development hypovitaminosis D. Vitamin D been implicated in extraskeletal functions many physiological mechanisms, including sleep. Therefore, we aimed verify association between parameters shift with cardiovascular risk. We conducted a cross-sectional...
