ABSTRACT Aims:To study the association between sleep deprivation and obesity among workers. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study of workers at a notebooks manufacturing in southern Brazil, which has three sectors of work (production line, back office and logistics), and the production sector works 24 hours a day. Demographic, socioeconomic, occupational and behavioral characteristics were obtained by a self-completion questionnaire, standardized and pre-tested. Weight and height measurements were self-reported and body mass index calculated. The cutoff point for obesity was ≥30 kg/m². Sleep duration was categorized into at least six hours a day and less than six hours a day (sleep deprivation). For bivariate analysis, chi-square test and test for linear trend were used. The crude and adjusted odds ratios were calculated using Poisson regression. Results:The final sample consisted of 193 workers, with a mean age of 34±11 years, 99 (51%) women. The prevalence of obesity was 27 (13.98%), and the prevalence of sleep deprivation was 40 (20.7%). Sleep deprivation has been associated with the production sector (p=0.011), the night shift (p<0.001) and physical inactivity (p=0.003). The presence of obesity was associated with sleep deprivation (p=0.006). After controlling for potential confounding factors, the likelihood of being obese was 2.37 (95% CI 1.08 to 5.21) times higher among workers in sleep deprivation. Conclusions:The results showed an association between sleep deprivation and obesity. In addition, sleep deprivation was associated with work on the night shift.

“…Acadêmicos com distúrbio do sono revelaram circunferência da cintura limítrofe. Estes dados corroboram com os encontrados por Benvegnú (17) , que investigou a correlação associação entre privação de sono e obesidade em trabalhadores, e constatou que a probabilidade de ser obeso foi de 2,37 vezes maior entre participantes em privação de sono.…”

Cronobiologia e o sono: uma análise sobre os impactos da sua desregulação nos estudantes e profissionais da área da saúde

“…Uma pesquisa realizada por (Benvegnú et al 2016), foram os horários irregulares ou alternativos de pessoas que trabalham em turnos rotativos e como isso pode contribuir para o aumento da obesidade. Por consequência, de uma falta de rotina e privação de sono, podem ocorrer alterações hormonais, aumento de apetite e doenças cardiovasculares em decorrência de altos níveis de colesterol, sendo então, esses trabalhadores mais suscetíveis a estar acima do peso.…”

Association between fixed night work and obesity: a systematic literature review

“…One of the problems frequently observed in many studies evaluating night work and health problems is that the authors usually include shift workers (day and night) and not just night workers under the same exposure group. Shift work includes schedules that are different from the usual eight hours per day, including night shift, rotating shift (in the three 24-hour phases) and irregular or alternative works 17 . Fixed night work means working predominantly at night, at the same time every day.…”
