“…Another aspect related to shift work and directly associated with weight gain is the change in sleep patterns. Epidemiologic studies reveal a causal link between reduced sleep duration/shift work and metabolic disorders [ 61 , 64 ]. Sleep deprivation can result in an additional daily energy intake of around 350–500 kcal and increase in the intake of calories derived from snacks [ 75 ].…”

The objective of this review was to investigate the impact of shift and night work on metabolic processes and the role of alterations in the sleep-wake cycle and feeding times and environmental changes in the occurrence of metabolic disorders. The literature review was performed by searching three electronic databases for relevant studies published in the last 10 years. The methodological quality of each study was assessed, and best-evidence synthesis was applied to draw conclusions. The literature has shown changes in concentrations of melatonin, cortisol, ghrelin, and leptin among shift workers. Melatonin has been implicated for its role in the synthesis and action of insulin. The action of this hormone also regulates the expression of transporter glucose type 4 or triggers phosphorylation of the insulin receptor. Therefore, a reduction in melatonin can be associated with an increase in insulin resistance and a propensity for the development of diabetes. Moreover, shift work can negatively affect sleep and contribute to sedentarism, unhealthy eating habits, and stress. Recent studies on metabolic processes have increasingly revealed their complexity. Physiological changes induced in workers who invert their activity-rest cycle to fulfill work hours include disruptions in metabolic processes.

“…Although unhealthy lifestyle and cardiometabolic risk factors are frequent among professional drivers (22,(28)(29)(30), few health education interventions have been targeted at this group. To our knowledge, the only previous randomized trial to prevent obesity was conducted among 1061 overweight transit workers, mostly metropolitan bus drivers, lasting 18 months (25).…”

Lifestyle counseling to reduce body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors among truck and bus drivers -a randomized controlled trial by Puhkala J, Kukkonen-Harjula K, Mansikkamäki K, Aittasalo M, Hublin C, Kärmeniemi P, Olkkonen S, Partinen M, Sallinen M, Tokola K, Fogelholm M Our aim was to decrease body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors among overweight truck and bus drivers by structured lifestyle counseling. Our study is one of the few randomized trials to promote health of professional drivers. The study showed clinically meaningful decreases in body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors after 12 months of counseling followed by 12 months of follow-up. Original article Scand J Work Environ Health. 2015;41(1):54-64. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3463 Lifestyle counseling to reduce body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors among truck and bus drivers -a randomized controlled trial Objectives We conducted a randomized trial among overweight long-distance drivers to study the effects of structured lifestyle counseling on body weight and cardiometabolic risk factors. AffiliationMethods Men with waist circumference >100 cm were randomized into a lifestyle counseling (LIFE, N=55) and a reference (REF, N=58) group. The LIFE group participated in monthly counseling on nutrition, physical activity, and sleep for 12 months aiming at 10% weight loss. After 12 months, the REF group participated in 3-month counseling. Assessments took place at 0, 12, and 24 months. Between-group differences in changes were analyzed by generalized linear modeling. Metabolic risk (Z score) was calculated from components of metabolic syndrome. ResultsThe mean body weight change after 12 months was -3.4 kg in LIFE (N=47) and 0.7 kg in REF (N=48) [net difference -4.0 kg, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) -1.9--6.2]. Six men in LIFE reduced body weight by ≥10%. Changes in waist circumference were -4.7 cm in LIFE and -0.1 cm in REF (net -4.7 cm, 95% CI -6.6--2.7). Metabolic risk decreased more in the LIFE than REF group (net -1.2 points, 95% CI -0.6--2.0). After 24 months follow-up, there were no between-group differences in changes in body weight (net -0.5 kg, 95% CI -3.8-2.9) or metabolic risk score (net 0.1 points; 95% CI -0.8-1.0) compared to baseline.Conclusions Weight reduction and decreases in cardiometabolic risk factors were clinically meaningful after 12 months of counseling.

“…Muitas destas variáveis associam-se ao estilo de vida imposto pela própria condição de trabalho, à exposição a diversos ambientes sociais, ao longo tempo nas estradas (Marqueze, Ulhôa & Moreno, 2013), à pouca prática de atividade física (Sieber e outros, 2014;Sangaleti, 2014), aos maus hábitos alimentares (Mansur e outros, 2015) e ao uso inconsistente de preservativo durante a prática sexual (Leopoldo, Leyton & Oliveira, 2015;Rosso, Montomoli & Candura, 2016 …”

ResumoO trabalhador motorista de caminhão está exposto a condições adversas durante a prática laboral, que lhe apresenta variáveis de risco a sua saúde, sobretudo o tabaco. Assim, este estudo objetivou sistematizar o conhecimento produzido acerca do uso e do abuso de tabaco entre motoristas de caminhão. Para tanto, fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica de trabalhos científicos nas bases de dados científicas PubMed, SciELO e LILACS em maio de 2016. O uso prejudicial de tabaco entre os caminhoneiros não foi amplamente explorado enquanto variável dependente, uma vez que a maioria dos estudos abordou este comportamento como um fator preditor para as doenças metabólicas, cardiovasculares, musculoesqueléticas, cáries e infecção sexualmente transmissível.Palavras-chave: saúde do homem; tabagista; saúde pública. Abstract Tobacco use in truck drivers: bibliographic reviewThe truck driver worker is exposed to adverse conditions during labor practice, which presents risk variables to his health, especially tobacco. Situation worsens before the abuse of psychoactive substances, especially tobacco. Thus, this study aimed to systematize the knowledge about the use and abuse of tobacco among truck drivers. In this order, a bibliographical review of scientific papers was made in the scientific databases PubMed, SciELO and LILACS in May 2016. The harmful use of tobacco among truck drivers was not widely explored as a dependent variable, since most of the studies Addressed this behavior as a predictor for metabolic, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, caries and sexually transmitted infections.
