AI simplified
Abstract
The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 13.8% in day workers, 10.7% in two-shift workers, and 17.6% in three-shift workers.
- Two-shift work showed a significantly lower prevalence of metabolic syndrome compared to day work.
- The odds ratio for metabolic syndrome associated with two-shift work was 0.77, suggesting a potential protective effect.
- Age was associated with an increasing risk of metabolic syndrome, with an odds ratio of 1.03.
- Habitual exercise was linked to a lower risk of metabolic syndrome, with an odds ratio of 0.64.
