Background: Shift work, particularly night shifts are known to be associated with an increased risk of chronic disease including cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, gastrointestinal disorders, and/or cancer. We aimed to evaluate the association between shift work including the night shift, and the components of metabolic syndrome in adult Korean workers. We divided our study subjects into a day-work, and a night & shift work group. Factors affecting metabolic syndrome were investigated in each group after classifying these as work-related, sociodemographic, health-behavior-related, and psychological factors.
Methods: This study included 7,290 workers (day workers: 6,075, night and shift workers: 1,215). We performed propensity score matching in our study sample and obtained data from a health survey, as well as health examinations using the 2011?2014 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys.
Results: Using logistic regression analysis, we determined that the odds ratio of subjects with metabolic syndrome among the night & shift workers compared to against day workers was 1.219 (95% confidence interval 1.059?1.403). Using logistic regression analysis, we could demonstrate that among day workers, male sex, a manual work job, and exercise were factors that were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome (P<0.05). Among night and shift workers, the daily working status, male sex, and a part-time job were factors that were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome (P<0.05).
Conclusion: We conclude that not only the work pattern, but work-related factors (occupation, working status, among others) show an association with metabolic syndrome.
