Association of rotating night shift with lipid profile among nurses in an Egyptian tertiary university hospital

Abstract: The main objective was to identify whether night shift nurses are more prone to dyslipidaemia than day shift nurses. One hundred and fifty female nurses aged 20-49 years were recruited from Ain Shams University Hospitals, Egypt, from January to March 2016: 64 day shift and 86 night shift. Diet type was assessed by interview questionnaire and job satisfaction was assessed using the job satisfaction survey. Triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) were measured in all n… Show more

“…The association attenuated after controlling for lifestyle and job confounding factors, suggesting that they are great determinants of hyperlipidemia among Iranian industrial workers. The negative impact of work-related risk factors such as shift work or job stress on blood lipid profile has been confirmed by previous studies on working population (Gadallah et al , 2017; Garbarino and Magnavita, 2015; Peter et al , 1999).…”

“…, this can be explained by the shift workers are manual workers while the daytime workers are clerk. These results come in accordance with the findings ofGadallah et al, 2017 who evaluated the relationship between rotatory shift and lipid profile and studied factors associated with dyslipidemia among nurses in an Egyptian tertiary university hospital (Ain Shams University hospital) and found that 31.4% of shift nurses and 26.6% of day shift nurses reported moderate intensity exercise. Additionally, a study by Cathy et al, (2017) reported similar results that the shift workers more physically active than daytime workers in UK Biobank study with 277,168 employed participants.…”

“…Another study on Iranian physicians reported that >50% of participants exhibited low serum HDL levels (40). Similarly, a study on Egyptian nurses reported that the level of serum HDL among nurse day worker was twice that of nurse shift workers (38). Lower levels of serum HDL among shift workers may be due to circadian disorders (41).…”
