Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that night shift work increases the risk of type 2 diabetes?

Yes. A 2024 meta-analysis of 10 cohort studies reports that night shift workers had about a 30% higher incidence of type 2 diabetes than daytime workers, and several additional cohort studies in nurses and healthcare employees found modestly increased risks with longer night shift exposure.
