Summary: | Objective
To detect premature gluco-metabolic defects among night shift workers with disturbances in circadian rhythms.
Design and methods
We performed a hypothesis-generating, cross-sectional analysis of anthropometric, metabolic, lipid, and inflammation parameters, comparing active (a-NSW,
n
= 111) and former (f-NSW,
n
= 98) rotating night shift workers with diurnal workers (controls,
n
= 69). All participants were hospital nurses. We also evaluated the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and assessed expression of transcription factors REV-ERBα and BMAL1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), as indicators of the molecular clock.
Results
Both a-NSW and f-NSW participants had significantly higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and white blood cell counts (WBC) (
