Abstract
The pooled Odds ratio for metabolic syndrome in shift workers compared to day workers is 1.14.
- Shift work is associated with a higher likelihood of developing metabolic syndrome.
- The association is significant in studies with a cross-sectional design.
- Females and males both show increased odds of metabolic syndrome, with ratios of 1.13 and 1.12, respectively.
- Adjusting for sleep increases the odds ratio for metabolic syndrome to 1.29.
- Rotating shift workers have a stronger association with metabolic syndrome compared to other shift work types.
