In order to give a clarifying contribution about the probable relationship between shift-work and digestive diseases the authors have conducted a clinical and anamnestical investigation on digestive disturbances and alimentary habits of shift-workers comparing them with non shift-workers. The former group of subjects is engaged in very different activities conducted in variable working environments, with shift rhythms which are always disordered, sometime are imposed by the working Companies and sometimes chosen on the basis of personal necessities. The most interesting result of this study is represented by the confirmation of statistical significance among the larger incidence percentage of digestive disturbances between shift and non shift-workers. Moreover, statistical differences have been remarked among the different groups of shift-workers examinated. For these reasons the authors believe that shift-work is per se responsible of digestive diseases in the workers engaged to it and they also think that it is very important to distinguish the kind of shift work which may produce environmental, psychological and motivational differences.
为了对轮班工作与消化系统疾病之间可能存在的关系做出明确贡献，作者对轮班工人的消化功能紊乱和饮食习惯进行了临床及问诊调查，并与非轮班工人进行了比较。前一组受试者从事的活动非常不同，工作环境多变，轮班节奏总是紊乱，有时是公司规定的，有时是根据个人需要选择的。这项研究最有趣的结果是证实了轮班工人和非轮班工人之间消化系统紊乱发生率较高具有统计学意义。此外，在接受检查的不同轮班工人群体之间也发现了统计学差异。基于这些原因，作者认为轮班工作本身是从事该工作的工人患消化系统疾病的原因，他们还认为区分可能产生环境、心理和动机差异的轮班工作类型非常重要。
