We included 56 477 Dutch female nurses who completed a questionnaire in 2011, including occupational history with detailed (historical) information on night shift work.

A longer duration of working night shifts (\u226520 years: HR=1.19; 95%CI=0.89 to 1.60) was neither associated with CRC risk. However, a higher average number of consecutive night shifts per month (continuous per shift; HR=1.04, 95%CI=1.00 to 1.07) and a higher cumulative number of performed night shifts (continuous per 250 shifts: HR=1.02; 95%CI=1.00 to 1.04) were associated with a slightly increased risk.
