The purpose of this study was to predict the risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal disease through sleep quality and chronic fatigue in shiftworkers. Methods: 195 shift workers of an industrial company were selected by stratified random sampling and they completed survey questionnaires. The scales used for this study were 18-item physical diseases questionnaire (with two subscales), 11-item sleep quality questionnaire and 10-item chronic fatigue questionnaire. Results: The results showed that there is significant correlation between shift workers sleep quality and risk of physical disease and its subscales (p<0.0001). There is significant linear correlation between shift workers’ chronic fatigue and risk of physical disease and its subscales (p<0.0001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that there are relationships between shiftworkers sleep quality and chronic fatigue with risk of physical disease (R2=0.266, p<0.0001). Conclusion: Overall, , based on these findings, we can say that poor sleep quality and chronic fatigue of shiftworkers increases risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases. M3 ER -
