Which shift pattern has higher risk of heart disease


Which shift pattern has higher risk of heart disease?
I'm 21 years old and hand have been working split shifts for the last 3 years, 2 weeks 6am-2pm then 2 weeks 2-10pm. I have heard recently that working split shifts for 15 years or more can increase the risk of developing heart disease in later life by around 300%. Is there be a risk from working my pattern or is it mainly those who work both nights and days?

Its a pretty obtuse question. It depends on your blood pressure, heart rate, general diet and well being. Some people work night and day shifts and cycle and nothing happens. It depends on the person and their general state! Like anything, too much of something bad isnt good is it
