Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the longitudinal effect of work‐related stress, sleep deficiency, and physical activity on 10‐year cardiometabolic risk among an all‐female worker population. Methods Data on patient care workers (n = 99) was collected 2 years apart. Baseline measures included: job stress, physical activity, night work, and sleep deficiency. Biomarkers and objective measurements were used to estimate 10‐year cardiometabolic risk at follow‐up. Significant associations (P < 0.05) from baseline analyses were used to build a multivariable linear regression model. Results The participants were mostly white nurses with a mean age of 41 years. Adjusted linear regression showed that having sleep maintenance problems, a different occupation than nurse, and/or not exercising at recommended levels at baseline increased the 10‐year cardiometabolic risk at follow‐up. Conclusions In female workers prone to work‐related stress and sleep deficiency, maintaining sleep and exercise patterns had a strong impact on modifiable 10‐year cardiometabolic risk. Am. J. Ind.
