Correlate shift work with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, chronotype and depressive symptoms.
This study comprising 14 shift workers and 13 day workers. Subjects were workers from the health area aged 25 to 60 years. Minor psychiatric disorders were accessed by Self Report Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and depressive symptoms by Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Chronotype was accessed using Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). Anthropometric measures were taken.
Shift workers presented higher BMI (P = 0.03) and waist circumference (P = 0.004) than day workers. Years on shift work were significantly correlated to waist circumference (r = 0.43; P = 0.03) and age (r = 0.47; P = 0.02). Shift work was not correlated with depressive symptoms and chronotype.
These results may suggest a role played by shift work on the development and/or the early clinic manifestations of metabolic disturbances, becoming a risk factor to metabolic syndrome.
将轮班工作与体重指数（BMI）、腰围、昼夜节律类型及抑郁症状进行关联分析。
本研究纳入14名轮班工作者和13名日班工作者。研究对象为年龄在25至60岁的卫生领域工作者。采用自填式问卷调查表（SRQ - 20）评估轻度精神障碍，采用贝克抑郁量表（BDI）评估抑郁症状。使用晨型 - 夜型问卷（MEQ）评估昼夜节律类型。进行人体测量。
轮班工作者的BMI（P = 0.03）和腰围（P = 0.004）高于日班工作者。轮班工作年限与腰围（r = 0.43；P = 0.03）和年龄（r = 0.47；P = 0.02）显著相关。轮班工作与抑郁症状及昼夜节律类型无关。
这些结果可能提示轮班工作在代谢紊乱的发生和/或早期临床表现中起作用，成为代谢综合征的一个危险因素。
