The distribution of metabolic and obesity phenotypes in Taiwanese medical personnel is unknown. In this study, trajectory analysis with repeated measurements was used to explore the development and associated risk factors of different metabolic and obesity phenotypes in hospital staff from a Taiwanese medical center. The results demonstrated that metabolically unhealthy workers presented with a higher body mass index (BMI) compared with their metabolically healthy counterparts. Male and aged > 40 years hospital workers were more likely to be in a deleterious metabolic/obesity state. Meanwhile, profession and working hours were not significantly associated with the development of certain phenotypes in our study. These results shed light on the necessity of adequate data retrieval regarding working hours, and a nuanced examination of working conditions among different professions. Our findings are helpful for the development of advanced guidance regarding health promotion in hospital workers.

“…The analysis of the women’s occupation data reveals that women holding managerial positions had a substantially higher prevalence of obesity than those whose occupation is agriculture (33.4% vs. 1.8%). The high prevalence may be because of prolonged sitting hours, means of transportation, and possibly high intake of energy-dense diets (31, 33). For example, long hours at the office can make it challenging to squeeze in time for exercise (34).…”

Background: Obesity is a major global public health problem. It is spreading very fast in low- and middle-income countries, and has reached world record levels in some of them. In Ghana, it has increased by over 65% among urban women in the past three decades. This study investigated the effects of social determinants of health on obesity among women in urban Ghana. Methods: The study analysed the Ghana demographic and health survey data. These are nationally representative data collective every five years across low- and middle-income countries. A total of 1,204 urban women were included in the analysis. The outcome variable of interest was body mass index. We used logistic regression to model the effects of the various social determinants of health on obesity. Results: The results showed that 40% (95% confidence interval (CI)=25.4, 57.0) and 36.7% (95% CI=25.6, 49.3) of women who had higher education and those whose partners had higher education suffered from obesity, respectively. Women living in rich households had a five times higher prevalence of obesity than those in poor households (28.8% vs 5.7%). Further, 33.4% (95% CI=18.5, 19.3) of women who occupied managerial positions were obese. The results from the multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested that compared to women in poor households, those in rich households were 3.4 times (95% CI=1.31, 8.97) more likely to suffer from obesity. Women whose main occupation was agriculture were 81% (aOR=0.19; 95% CI=0.034, 0.99) less likely to suffer from obesity than those with no occupation. Conclusions: The results suggest that the various SDH significantly influence women's obesity. Women and partner education levels, occupying a managerial position, and living in rich households increase the risk of obesity. Interventions to address the rising obesity in urban Ghana should have specific packages targeted at these subgroups.

There is growing scientific evidence that connects circadian rhythm abnormalities with cardiovascular risk factors. Due to their work schedules, shift workers are exposed to changes in their circadian rhythm that are associated with metabolic syndrome (MS). Aim: To determine the relationship between shift work and metabolic syndrome. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional observational study. The sample included 300 adult volunteers, health workers of a public hospital in the city of Riobamba, Ecuador. The diagnosis of MS was made based on the criteria bythe Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). In addition, sleep quality was assessed through the Pittsburg sleep quality index. Cluster analysis of K-means was used to identify representative groups. In addition, chi-squared test and ANOVA were used to determine the association between variables. Results: Three conglomerates based on age and sex were established, which were numbered consecutively 1, 2 and 3. Conglomerate 1 had a statistically higher percentage of people who worked in shifts, suffered MS and had worse sleep quality than the other two conglomerates. In conclusión, shift work is related to the risk of suffering from MS and poor quality of sleep. Keywords: shift work, metabolic syndrome, sleep quality, k medias clusters. Resumen Introducción: La evidencia creciente conecta las alteraciones del ritmo circadiano con factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Los trabajadores por turnos debido a sus horarios de trabajo están expuestos a alteraciones de su ritmo circadiano que se asocian a síndrome metabólico (SM). Objetivo: Determinar la relación entre trabajo por turnos y síndrome metabólico. Metodología: Estudio observacional transversal. La muestra incluyó 300 voluntarios adultos, empleados sanitarios de un hospital público de la ciudad de Riobamba, Ecuador. El diagnóstico de SM se realizó con base en los criterios del Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III). Además, se evaluó la calidad del sueño a través del índice de la calidad de sueño de Pittsburg. Se utilizó el análisis de clúster de K medias para identificar grupos representativos, además Chi2 y ANOVA para determinar asociación entre las variables. Resultados: Se establecieron tres clusters basados en edad y sexo, los que fueron numerados de forma consecutiva 1, 2 y 3. El cluster 1 tuvo un porcentaje estadísticamente más alto de personas que trabajaban por turnos, sufrían SM y que presentaron peor calidad de sueño que los otros dos clusters. Conclusiones: El trabajo por turnos se relaciona con el riesgo de sufrir SM y mala calidad de sueño. Palabras clave: trabajo por turnos, síndrome metabólico, calidad del sueño, análisis de k medias.
