Abstract

Introduction: There has been a dramatic increase in the practice of shift work throughout the world. It is known to associate with several adverse health outcomes including increased adiposity. The present study aims to systematically evaluate the literature to find the associations between exposure to shift work and body composition.

Evidence acquisition: Data were obtained using a stepwise search process using keywords in the following online medical databases; PubMed®, Web of Science® and Scopus® for studies published before 31st March 2020. Studies which compared the outcome related to the body composition of shift workers and regular day workers were included. A meta-analysis was performed on body fat percentage (BF%).

Evidence synthesis: Initial database searching indicated 2311 potentially eligible articles, of which seven studies satisfying the inclusion criteria were selected. The number of participants ranged between 17 to 7318, and the age range of the subjects was between 20-65 years. The studies reported diverse shift schedules including rotating shifts, night, evening shifts, alternate shifts, and regular shifts. Four out of seven studies revealed a higher BF% in shift workers when compared to the non-shift group. The pooled mean difference for BF% between shift workers and regular workers was 1.77% (95% CI: 0.18, 3.35; P=0.03; I2=52%, P>0.12).

Conclusions: The meta-analysis of the review showed a significant increase in BF% of shift workers when compared to the non-shift group. However, individual studies showed considerable heterogeneity. Therefore in order to further clarify the underlying mechanisms, more and better quality studies on this field are necessary.

轮班工作与身体成分:系统回顾与荟萃分析。
导言:全世界轮班工作的做法急剧增加。众所周知,轮班工作与几种不利的健康结果有关,其中包括脂肪增加。本研究旨在对文献进行系统评估,以发现轮班工作与身体成分之间的关联:在以下在线医学数据库(PubMed®、Web of Science® 和 Scopus®)中使用关键字逐步搜索 2020 年 3 月 31 日之前发表的研究。纳入了比较轮班工作者和普通日班工作者身体成分相关结果的研究。对身体脂肪百分比(BF%)进行了荟萃分析:初步数据库搜索显示有 2311 篇文章可能符合条件,其中有 7 项研究符合纳入标准。参与人数从 17 到 7318 人不等,受试者的年龄在 20-65 岁之间。这些研究报告了不同的轮班时间,包括轮班、夜班、晚班、交替轮班和正常轮班。七项研究中有四项显示,轮班工人的 BF% 比非轮班工人高。轮班工人与正常工人之间 BF% 的汇总平均值差异为 1.77% (95% CI: 0.18, 3.35; p=0.03; I2=52%, p >0.12):综述的荟萃分析表明,轮班工人的 BF% 比非轮班工人显著增加。然而,个别研究显示出相当大的异质性。因此,为了进一步阐明其潜在机制,有必要在这一领域开展更多、更高质量的研究。
