"Shift work is increasingly recognized as an occupational health concern and has been linked to a number of chronic diseases. Our study does not support a higher risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) among night shift workers in Denmark, though selection bias (ie, individuals leaving night work due to prediagnostic symptoms of PD) and residual confounding cannot be entirely ruled out."
