Permanent night-shift workers exhibit altered nutrient intake, with lower vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acid consumption compared to day workers. High alcohol intake during work hours is a concern for safety and performance.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Occupational Health
  • Dietary Assessment

Background:

  • Night shift work is prevalent and may impact dietary habits and nutrient intake.
  • Understanding the nutritional status of night shift workers is crucial for occupational health and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the dietary intake of permanent night-shift workers with day-shift controls.
  • To assess nutrient intake adequacy and meal patterns in shift workers.

Main Methods:

  • Modified weight record technique used for 7-day dietary intake assessment.
  • 24 permanent night-shift workers and 25 day-shift controls participated.
  • Intake data analyzed for macronutrients, micronutrients, and meal frequency.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Night-shift workers showed significantly lower intake of vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • Vitamin A, D, zinc, and dietary fiber intake were below recommendations in both groups.
  • Night-shift workers consumed less on weekends, with reduced meal frequency.

Conclusions:

  • Permanent night shift work is associated with specific nutrient intake differences, particularly lower vitamin E and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
  • Inadequate intake of several micronutrients and fiber is a concern for both shift groups.
  • High alcohol consumption during work hours poses risks to accident safety and work capacity.
