Metabolic health measurements of shift workers in a national cross‐sectional study: Results from the Canadian Health Measures Survey

Abstract: Background: Shift work exposure may be a concern for a range of health effects, including metabolic health outcomes such as insulin resistance, high body weight, and abdominal obesity. Methods: We analyzed shift work and indicators of metabolic health (overweight/ obesity defined by body mass index, self-reported changes in body mass index (BMI) in previous 1 and 10 years, waist circumference, waist-to-hip ratio, and insulin resistance assessed by the homeostasis model assessment 2 (HOMA-2-IR)) in the cross-se… Show more

“…However, it is possible that acute studies of circadian misalignment may not adequately represent the effects of long-term circadian misalignment stemming from working the nightshift. Only a handful of studies have examined metabolic hormones such as insulin and leptin in chronic shift workers, and of these, all but one study measured insulin and/or leptin at only one or two time points over a 24-h period ( 16 18 , 20 , 21 ) and one study conducted repeated measurements of glucose and insulin over a 24-h period ( 19 ). To our knowledge, there are no studies that have examined both insulin and leptin hourly over a 24-h period among day versus night shift workers.…”
