Figure 1.
Estimated mean telomere length for current work schedule, years of full-time work and long-term work in multiple jobs, shiftwork or work at night in the entire sample (n=608) and postmenopausal women only (n=361). The mean telomere length base pairs and 95% CIs were estimated from a mutually adjusted regression including age and variables shown (current work schedule, years full-time work and long-term work multiple jobs, shiftwork or work at night). The sample includes everyone currently working or those with a moderate or substantial past employment history and a subanalysis of postmenopausal women. The dashed line represents the mean unadjusted relative telomere length in the sample.
