Shift work is associated with health problems, including metabolic syndrome. This study investigated the association between shift work and metabolic syndrome in young workers.
A total of 3,317 subjects aged 20-40 years enrolled in the 2011-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were divided into shift and day workers. We conducted a cross-sectional study and calculated odds ratios using multivariate logistic regression analysis in order to examine the association between shift work and metabolic syndrome.
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 14.3% and 7.1% among male and female shift workers, respectively. After adjusting for confounding factors, shift work was associated with metabolic syndrome in female workers (odds ratio, 2.53; 95% confidence interval, 1.12 to 5.70).
Shift work was associated with metabolic syndrome in young women. Timely efforts are necessary to manage metabolic syndrome in the workplace.
轮班工作与包括代谢综合征在内的健康问题相关。本研究调查了年轻工人中轮班工作与代谢综合征之间的关联。
2011 - 2012年韩国国家健康与营养检查调查中纳入的3317名年龄在20 - 40岁的受试者被分为轮班工人和日班工人。我们进行了一项横断面研究，并使用多变量逻辑回归分析计算比值比，以检验轮班工作与代谢综合征之间的关联。
男性和女性轮班工人中代谢综合征的患病率分别为14.3%和7.1%。在调整混杂因素后，轮班工作与女性工人的代谢综合征相关（比值比，2.53；95%置信区间，1.12至5.70）。
轮班工作与年轻女性的代谢综合征相关。在工作场所及时采取措施管理代谢综合征是必要的。
