Shift work has been associated with unhealthy lifestyle habits and a higher prevalence of obesity, which negatively impacts the health of shift workers. The objective of our study was to examine the influence of shift work on obesity, as well as on sociodemographic variables, anthropometric measurements, and lifestyle habits in individuals working this type of schedule.
An observational, cross-sectional, descriptive study involving 53,053 workers from various labour sectors across several Spanish autonomous communities was conducted. It included 31,753 men (17,527 of them working shifts) and 21,300 women (11,281 of them working shifts). The relationship between shift work and obesity was examined, as well as its association with sex, age, social class, education level, smoking, alcohol consumption, sedentary behaviour, and unhealthy diet.
Obesity showed higher prevalence and mean values among shift workers across all four formulas used (BMI obesity, WtHR high, CUN BAE obesity, METS-VF high). All variables related to unhealthy lifestyle habits revealed a significantly greater prevalence among shift workers, with high statistical significance ( < 0.001). Age, sex, and social class affected the risk of obesity, with a greater prevalence observed in shift workers compared to non-shift workers ( < 0.001). Men had a higher risk than women, with an OR ranging from 1.17 (1.12-1.21) for BMI obesity to 7.45 (6.71-8.20) for METS-VF high.
Shift workers exhibit a higher prevalence of obesity and unhealthy lifestyle habits, with men at greater risk. The variables that most significantly increase the risk of obesity include age, physical inactivity, low adherence to the Mediterranean diet, and alcohol consumption.
轮班工作与不健康的生活习惯以及更高的肥胖患病率相关，这对轮班工人的健康产生负面影响。我们研究的目的是探讨轮班工作对肥胖的影响，以及对从事此类工作安排的个体的社会人口统计学变量、人体测量指标和生活习惯的影响。
进行了一项观察性、横断面、描述性研究，涉及来自西班牙多个自治区不同劳动部门的53053名工人。其中包括31753名男性（其中17527名从事轮班工作）和21300名女性（其中11281名从事轮班工作）。研究了轮班工作与肥胖之间的关系，以及其与性别、年龄、社会阶层、教育水平、吸烟、饮酒、久坐行为和不健康饮食的关联。
在所使用的所有四种公式（BMI肥胖、WtHR高、CUN BAE肥胖、METS-VF高）中，肥胖在轮班工人中的患病率和平均值均更高。所有与不健康生活习惯相关的变量在轮班工人中的患病率均显著更高，具有高度统计学意义（<0.001）。年龄、性别和社会阶层影响肥胖风险，与非轮班工人相比，轮班工人的患病率更高（<0.001）。男性的风险高于女性，BMI肥胖的优势比为1.17（1.12 - 1.21），METS-VF高的优势比为7.45（6.71 - 8.20）。
轮班工人肥胖和不健康生活习惯的患病率更高，男性风险更大。最显著增加肥胖风险的变量包括年龄、缺乏身体活动、对地中海饮食的依从性低和饮酒。
