abstract="Research has indicated that individuals may become less tolerant to shiftwork as they age. This study observed the effect of age on neurobehavioral performance in shift workers working a 12-h shift schedule. Performance data was collected for a 14-day period, from 20 subjects. Analyses were performed to identify significant differences relating to age. Older subjects' performance declined faster during night shifts than their younger counterparts, indicating a more profound effect of night work on performance in older workers. However, larger investigations are required to support generalized statements about the impact of age on performance.<p />",
