Previous studies have shown that shift workers are more prone to non-communicable diseases. The aim of the present crossover study is to investigate whether it is possible to improve the health status of shift workers. Nineteen male shift workers (38.5 years ± 7.4) received every other month a dietary counseling for one year. All subjects kept a seven-day diet diary during a night shift, received bioelectrical impedance analysis, and a laboratory examination was performed at the beginning of the study, after one year and at the end of the study. The laboratory blood test included the main metabolic parameters, melatonin and serotonin. Beside subjects were also motivated to incorporate more physical training into their daily routine. After the intervention period, participants reduced energy intake, mean portion size, table salt, consumption of sugar and saturated fat. C-reactive protein (CRP), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), liver enzymes, triglycerides, and uric acid decreased, while melatonin level increased. Participants lost body weight and reduced waist circumference after the intervention. Lifestyle modification and dietary information could contribute to the health of shift workers. However, further studies are needed to investigate whether this can prevent disease and whether melatonin production can be influenced by diet.
先前的研究表明，轮班工人更容易患非传染性疾病。本研究旨在探讨是否有可能改善轮班工人的健康状况。19 名男性轮班工人（38.5 岁±7.4 岁）每隔一个月接受为期一年的饮食咨询。所有研究对象在夜班期间连续记录 7 天的饮食日记，同时进行生物电阻抗分析，并在研究开始时、一年后和研究结束时进行实验室检查。实验室血液检测包括主要代谢参数、褪黑素和血清素。除了这些之外，还鼓励研究对象将更多的体育锻炼融入日常生活中。干预期间，参与者减少了能量摄入、平均每餐份量、食盐、糖和饱和脂肪的摄入。C 反应蛋白（CRP）、平均红细胞体积（MCV）、肝酶、甘油三酯和尿酸水平降低，而褪黑素水平升高。干预后，参与者的体重和腰围均有所减少。生活方式的改变和饮食信息可能有助于轮班工人的健康。然而，还需要进一步的研究来调查这种方法是否可以预防疾病，以及饮食是否可以影响褪黑素的产生。
