Abstract
The BMI of rotating shift workers was significantly higher than that of daytime workers.
- Shift workers had a higher intake of sugar-sweetened beverages compared to day workers.
- Shorter sleep duration was observed among shift workers on nights between day shifts.
- Both higher beverage consumption and shorter sleep duration were independently linked to increased BMI.
- A significant correlation exists between rotating shift work and increased BMI, even after adjusting for lifestyle habits.
- Further investigation is needed to identify other factors related to shift work that may contribute to obesity.
