本文探讨了老年人对轮班工作的容忍度较低的建议。回顾了年龄-轮班工作交互作用对睡眠、疲劳、工作表现、事故和健康影响的实地研究。年龄变化（上午，下午，晚上）和年龄变化系统（名册）的相互作用的研究也进行了审查。在九项研究中，轮班和日工进行了比较，并与年龄的相互作用进行了讨论。两项研究报告了老年人的更多问题，四项研究报告了相反的结果，而在五项研究中没有观察到显着的年龄变化工作的相互作用。从跨班比较（六项研究）中可以推断，与年轻工人相比，年长工人在夜班时有更多的睡眠问题，而早班则相反。这项审查确实发现了一些老年人和年轻工人之间的差异，但没有发现证据的建议，更多的轮班工作的问题，老年工人。
This paper explores the suggestion that older people would be less tolerant to shift work. Field studies on age-shift work interaction effects on sleep, fatigue, performance, accidents and health were reviewed. Studies on age-shift (morning, afternoon, night) and age-shift system (roster) interactions were also reviewed. In nine studies, shift and day workers were compared and interactions with age were addressed. Two studies reported more problems in older people, four studies reported opposite results, while in five studies no significant age-shift work interaction was observed. From across-shift comparisons (six studies), it was deduced that older compared with younger workers have more sleep problems with night shifts, while the opposite is true for morning shifts. This review did find some differences between older and younger workers, but did not find evidence for the suggestion of more shift work problems in older workers.
