“…Table 3 presents the characteristics of the articles. Of the total 33 studies included, 10 included only female subjects (22,(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39), 13 studies included only males (6,7,11,21,(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48) and 10 studies included both sexes (17,19,28,(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55). Workers from different sectors were evaluated as follows: workers in industries and plants (N=10) (6,11,17,31,39,(41)(42)(43)(44)46), hospitals (N=10) (28, 32-38, 49, 51), transportation company workers (N=4) (7,40,47,50), and the general population (N...…”

“…The sample sizes ranged from 22 (42) to 107 615 (32) subjects were aged 20-65 years old. We selected two retrospective cohort studies (22,32), a case-control study (34), and 30 cross-sectional studies (6,7,11,17,19,21,28,31,33,35,36,(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54)(55)(56). In the individual assessment of the quality of studies, only 9 studies showed scores >70% (17,19,22,32,36,40,50,54,55).…”

“…Table 4 shows studies (11,38,42,44,46,47) that only evaluated the intake of calories and nutrients, using 24-hour dietary recall (24HR) (42) and dietary records (11,38,42,46,47). On the other hand, table 5 shows studies that evaluated the intake of food groups (17,40,50,53) and eating pattern scores (5,17,31,34,35,41,(54)(55) through food frequency questionnaires (FFQ) (5,17,40,51,53,55), questionnaires about meals and food patterns (31,34,35,41,56), and 24HR (54). Of these, 12 were cross-sectional (6,17,31,34,35,37,40,41,50,(53)(54)…”

Objective This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association between shift work and eating habits. Methods The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (number 42015024680). PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Web of Science were searched for published reports. Of 2432 identified articles, 33 observational studies met the inclusion criteria. Their methodological approaches were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Data were extracted using a standardized form. Studies were considered to have a low or a high risk of bias according to a percentage score of quality. Results The majority of the studies presented a quality score of <70% and a high risk of bias for comparability, sample selection and non-respondents. Shift workers show changes in meal patterns, skipping more meals and consuming more food at unconventional times. They also show higher consumption of unhealthy foods, such as saturated fats and soft drinks. Conclusions This review suggests that shift work can affect the quality of workers' diets, but new studies, especially longitudinal studies, which examine the time of exposure to shift work, the duration of the workday and sleep patterns, are necessary to confirm this association.

“…Previous research has found that night shift workers in general are more likely to have poorer diets compared with those who work day shifts (Zverev 2005;Wong et al 2010;Conley 2012;Strzemecka et al 2014). However, to our knowledge, no study has investigated the association between diet quality and sleep quality among day and night shift nurses specifically.…”
