“…If irregular workhours increase coronary risk, its mechanism is not clear, and there is no study that indicates the effect of shift work on blood pressure. In the studies of the effect of shift work on health, there were some major methodological problems regarding selection into shift work and selection out of shift work (19,20). Some studies suggested that the workers who dropped out of shift work had a higher risk of ischemic heart disease than the workers who continued shift work (l,3).…”

“…The participants were classified into 1 of 4 groups according to work conditions in 1990 and 1995: (i) "day-day" workers, men who did day work in both 1990 and 1995, (ii) "day-shift" workers, men who did day work in 1990 and transferred to rotating 3-shift work We analyzed data by 3 age groups (18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39), and 4 0 4 9 years). The cumulative incidence of hypertension during the 5-year period was compared between the 4 groups according to their work conditions.…”

“…Some studies found elevated serum triglyceride levels or lipoproteins (13-15) among shift workers, but few studies found an increase in blood pressure, serum cholesterol, and other risk factors. Selection bias is one of the greatest methodological problems when this issue is investigated (ie, the healthy worker effect) (19,20). The aim of the present cohort study was to investigate the possibility of a relationship between blood pressure level and 3-shift work, with selection bias and confounding factors taken into account.…”

“…Some studies (5)(6)(7)(8)(9) have been performed attempting to identify links between the emergence of chronic degenerative diseases and the world of work, but it is still difficult to establish the trends of these diseases over time and correlate them with changes in work (4) . It is known that at the beginning of the last century noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCCD) were more frequent among the higher income classes.…”

Objectives:To identify risk factors for type 2 diabetes mellitus, among nursing workers at the State Institute of Diabetes and Endocrinology Luiz Capriglione. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study in which were applied two data collection instruments that included open and closed questions related to the health status and lifestyle of 100 nursing staff of the health institution. Also the biochemical and anthropometric nature of data were verified. Results: The results confirmed the occurrence of reversible major risk factors, emphasizing physical inactivity and obesity. Conclusion: Developing actions aimed at promoting health is considered important, focusing on prevention of chronic diseases and conducted in their own work environment. Keywords: Nursing staff; Diabetes mellitus, type 2; Risk factors; Health of the worker RESUMO Objetivos: Identificar os fatores de risco para o diabetes mellitus tipo 2, entre trabalhadores de enfermagem do Instituto Estadual de Diabetes e Endocrinologia Luiz Capriglione. Métodos: Estudo transversal com aplicação de dois instrumentos de coleta de dados que incluíram questões abertas e fechadas relativas ao estado de saúde e estilo de vida de 100 trabalhadores de enfermagem dessa instituição de saúde. Foram ainda verificados dados de natureza bioquímica e antropométrica. Resultados: Os resultados confirmaram a ocorrência de importantes fatores de risco de natureza reversível, destacando-se o sedentarismo e a obesidade. Conclusão: Considera-se a importância do desenvolvimento de ações visando a promoção da saúde com enfoque na prevenção de doenças crônicas, a serem realizadas no próprio ambiente de trabalho.

“…Shift work-defined as work outside normal day workhours (1)-has been found to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). However, even though the association between shift work and CVD has been studied for half a century, the results are inconsistent (7), and even the newest studies of the role of shift work in the etiology of CVD come to different conclusions (8,9).…”
