"Epidemiological research on working hours and health has increased, but the findings are surprisingly inconsistent. Most previous studies have used questionnaire or interview-based data on working hours, which provide only crude information on the exposure to working hours. In this methodological paper, we present and evaluate objective register-based algorithms for assessment of working time patterns for epidemiologic studies."
