Methods: This study used a cross-sectional survey of 19,821 U.S. adults. Results: COVID-19 infection occurred in 40% of participants, 32.6% morning and 17.2% evening chronotypes. After adjusting for demographic and socioeconomic factors, shift/remote work, sleep duration, and comorbidities, morning chronotype was associated with a higher (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.10-1.21) and evening chronotype with a lower (aOR: 0.82, 95% CI: 0.78-0.87) prevalence of COVID-19 infection in comparison to an intermediate chronotype. Working exclusively night shifts was not associated with higher prevalence of COVID-19. Morning chronotype and working some evening shifts was associated with the highest prevalence of previous COVID-19 infection (aOR: 1.87, 95% CI: 1.28-2.74). Conclusion: Morning chronotype and working a mixture of shifts increase risk of COVID-19 infection. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/35427 | DOI: | 10.1097/JOM.0000000000003103 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-9474-7679 0000-0003-3578-336 0000-0003-3100-7347 0000-0001-8547-7331 0000-0002-0533-3715 0000-0001-7772-1496 0000-0003-4976-8101 0000-0002-0612-1466 0000-0001-6481-3391 0000-0003-1360-9387 0000-0003-0288-2505 0000-0001-5408-1625 0000-0001-7527-8558 0000-0002-7408-1849 |
