Overview

Cross-sectional and mechanistic studies evaluate obesity risk factors in night shift workers across Europe, indicating urgent health implications.

Key Points

  • This project aims to investigate the biological, behavioural, and psychosocial risk factors linking night shift work to obesity in various European countries.
  • Multi-centric cross-sectional study with 500 night shift workers and 500 day workers from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands.
  • Collection of anthropometric measurements, sensory perception tests, and biological samples for biomarker assessments.
  • Nested mechanistic study on 200 night shift workers with urine, blood spot samples, and continuous monitoring of sleep and activity.
  • Identified associations between night shift work and pre-obesity biomarkers, adjusting for confounders such as age and gender.
  • Expected outcomes will help design intervention strategies to reduce obesity among night shift workers.
