van de Ven, H. (author), Hulsegge, G. (author), de Korte, E.M. (author), Burdorf, A. (author), Oude Hengel, K.M. (author)Objectives This study aimed to estimate acute effects of roster characteristics on fatigue and sleep quality and investigated whether these effects differed by individual characteristics. Methods Using an ecological measurement assessment survey, fatigue and sleep quality were daily measured among 223 shift workers for up to eight weeks. A...article 2021

Oosterman, J.E. (author), Wopereis, S. (author), Kalsbeek, A. (author)Obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have become a global health concern. The prevalence of obesity and T2D is significantly higher in shift workers compared to people working regular hours. An accepted hypothesis is that the increased risk for metabolic health problems arises from aberrantly timed eating behavior, that is, eating out of synchrony...article 2020

(author), van der Klink, J.J.L. (author)In this cross-sectional study associations were examined between eight shift schedule characteristics with shift-specific sleep complaints and need for recovery and generic health and performance measures.

Koppes, L.J.J. (author), Geuskens, G.A. (author), Pronk, A. (author), Vermeulen, R.C.H. (author), de Vroome, E.M.M. (author)Experimental studies in animals indicate that disruption of the circadian rhythm is carcinogenic, and night work has been suggested to be a probable breast cancer cause in humans. Findings among humans, however are inconsistent, often gathered with retrospective study designs, and only based on specific populations, such as nurses. We used data...article 2014

Clairbois, J.-P. (author), de Roo, F. (author), Garai, M. (author), Conter, M. (author), Defrance, J. (author), Oltean-Dumbrava, C. (author), Fusco, I. (author)Since the early 80's, one models noise propagation, in the early 90's one started to standardize how to measure the intrinsic characteristics of manufactured noise barriers: in 1997, the EU funded ADRIENNE research ([1] and [2]) was a first step, but many problems still remained. Since years, all the noise propagation software are still modeling...conference paper 2010

(author)Objectives: This study aimed at disentangling the effects of overtime hours from those of long workhours. For part-time workers, overtime work is not intertwined with long workhours as it is for full-time workers. Therefore, part-time and full-time employees were compared with regard to the association between overtime and well-being (fatigue...article 2007

Bongers, P.M. (author), IJmker, S. (author), van den Heuvel, S. (author), Blatter, B.M. (author), TNO Kwaliteit van Leven (author)Work related neck and upper limb symptoms have a multi-factorial origin. Possible risk factors are of a physical, psychosocial or personal origin. These factors can reinforce each other and their influence can also be mediated by cultural or societal factors. Initially, most research on neck and upper limb symptoms focused on work-related...article 2006

Bos, S.C. (author), Waterhouse, J. (author), Edwards, B. (author), Simons, R. (author), Reilly, T. (author), TNO Technische Menskunde (author)The endogenous circadian oscillator (the body clock) is slow to adjust to altered rest-activity patterns. As a result, several negative consequences arise during night work and after time-zone transitions. The process of adjustment can be assessed by measurements of the sleep electroencephalogram (EEG), core temperature or melatonin secretion,...article 2003
