“…QOL is a concept that is evaluated based on own goals, concerns, cultures, expectations, standards, living places and value systems that a person has (Netuveli and Blane, 2008). QOL and life satisfaction are correlated to a healthy and productive life (Anand and Arora, 2009) and being satisfied in life reflects the condition of having a good life (Kaliterna et al, 2004). Life satisfaction is a subjective judgment (Anand and Arora, 2009) that is based on the comparison between the expectations and possessions of a person in whole life rather than that in a certain condition (Melek, 2004).…”

In the elderly, the perception of life satisfaction and quality of life are related to many factors such as healthy life-span, chronic illnesses, expectations and self-perception of ageing. This study aimed to determine the effects of variables including age, employment, education, cognition, ethnicity, debt, sex differences, intimacy capability, sleep hours, taking salary, home ownership status, and living with a partner on life satisfaction in the Malaysian elderly. This project recruited 2322 subjects who were non-institutionalized Malaysian elderly aged 60 years and above. Life satisfaction was measured by asking in general 'Are you satisfied with your current life'. The multiple logistic regression analysis was used to predict the effects of susceptible variables on life satisfaction in subjects. Approximately, 90.4 % of samples reported that they were satisfied with their current life. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that ethnic Malay (odds ratio [OR] = 1.50; p = 0.014), and living with a partner (OR = 1.51; p = 0.015) were significantly associated with the higher level of life satisfaction in respondents (p<0.05). Age, employment, cognition, debt, education, taking salary, intimacy capability, sex differences, sleep hours, and home ownership status did not show any significant effects on life satisfaction in subjects (p>0.05). It was concluded that ethnic Malay and living with a partner prominently enhanced the level of life satisfaction in respondents.

“…In a study comparing aspects of quality of life of rotating shift workers, night shift workers reported having fewer opportunities for exercise training, leisure time and personal growth compared to daytime and non rotating shift workers (Kaliterna et al, 2004). This can explain the fact that an association between work duration and physical activity was only found among nighttime workers, and the longer they worked as truck drivers, the greater the odds of being "inadequately active" or sedentary.…”

A demanda da sociedade moderna intensificou o trabalho ininterrupto em diversas profissões. Além disso, o modo de organização da sociedade, com atividades predominantemente mecanizadas, tem contribuído para a prevalência de hábitos de vida não saudáveis, como a inatividade física. Este estudo objetiva verificar se fatores ocupacionais, sociodemográficos, antropométricos e alimentares estão associados à prática de atividade física insu ficiente e se há diferenças nessa associação entre motoristas de caminhão que trabalham de dia ou à noite. Participaram da pesquisa 470 motoristas de caminhão, que responderam a questionários de dados sociodemográficos, atividade física e frequên cia alimentar. Foi realizada uma regressão logís tica univariada para verificar a associação entre atividade física insuficiente e as demais variáveis. Além disso, a regressão logística múltipla foi tes tada para obter modelos que mostrem a associação de conjuntos de variáveis relacionados à atividade física insuficiente. Os resultados indicaram que a prática de atividade física está associada ao maior nível de escolaridade (OR = 1,84; IC = 1,22 2,76) e menor consumo de bebidas alcoólicas (OR = 1,59; IC = 1,04 2,45). Maior ingestão de cereais integrais (OR = 1,63; IC = 1,08 2,46) foi associada à prática regular de atividade física. Entre os trabalhadores noturnos, foi encontrada associação entre a prática regular de atividade física, maior consumo de cereais integrais (OR = 2,02; IC =1,13 3,60) e menor consumo de carboi dratos simples (OR = 1,91; IC = 1,08 3,37). Palavras-chave: Atividade física; Motoristas; Tur nos; Alimentação. The modern society's demand has intensified unin terrupted work among several professional catego ries. Besides that, the society's organization, with activities that are predominantly mechanized, has contributed to unhealthy life habits, such as lack of physical activity. This study aims to verify the association of occupational, social demographic, anthropometric and food intake data with insuffi cient practice of physical activities and if there are any differences in this association between day and night truck drivers. The 470 truck drivers who parti cipated in this study answered social demographic, physical activity and food frequency questionnaires. Univariate logistic regression analysis was used to verify the association between insufficient physical activity and the other variables. Additionally, multi ple logistic regression was tested to obtain models that show the association between sets of variables related to insufficient physical activity. The results indicated that practice of physical activities is as sociated with high educational level (OR=1.84; CI = 1.22 2.76) and low alcohol consumption (OR = 1.59; CI = 1.04 2.45). High intake of whole grains (OR = 1.63; CI = 1.08 2.46) was associated with regular practice of physical activity. Among the night workers, we found association between regular practice of phy sical activity, high consumption of whole grains (OR = 2.02; CI = 1.13 3.60) and low co...

“…Although conducted without appropriate controls for light exposure and exercise intensity, field studies have shown that physical exercise accelerates re-entrainment following transmeridian travel 98) . It is also reported that night workers have problems maintaining physical fitness compared to day workers 99) . Chrono-exercise is poised to become a very important research field.…”

In mammals, the circadian clock organizes physiological processes, including sleep/wake patterns, hormonal secretion, and metabolism, and regulates athletic performance. The circadian system is responsive to environmental changes such as light/dark cycles, food intake, and exercise. In this review, we will focus on the central and peripheral circadian molecular clock system, discussing how circadian rhythm affects athletic performance and muscle metabolism, and how exercise entrains the circadian rhythm. Importance of exercise training in rescuing circadian deficit-induced metabolic disorder is also discussed. The interaction of the circadian clock and exercise, called "chrono-exercise," is poised to become an important research field of chronobiology.

Quality of life, life satisfaction and happiness in shift- and non-shiftworkers

Abstract: Quality of life in specific domains in night-shiftworkers was rated worse than in other groups of workers. Domain-based quality of life assessment gives more information regarding the particular needs of workers than overall or global measures of well-being.
