“…In contrast to our finding of a higher energy intake among shift compared to day workers, the majority of previous studies observed no significant differences (15,17,19,24,39,40). However, three of these studies observed a statistically non-significantly higher energy intake among shift compared to day workers (24,39,40).…”

“…Significant associations (at P<0.05) are printed in bold. studies was insufficient to make proper inferences about differences in energy intake between groups since these studies had a small sample size (N=25-396) (19,24,39,40) and/or did not adjust for potential confounders such as age, gender and socioeconomic status (15,17,19,24,39,40). In addition, we observed that BMI and waist circumference were only slightly higher among shift compared to day workers, suggesting that energy balance was not strikingly different.…”

“…During irregular shifts, shift workers tend to eat a larger number Shift work and diet of small meals and eat more at irregular times (13,14). As to their usual diet, shift workers seem to consume more high-energy snacks and sugars than day workers (14)(15)(16)(17). Shift workers were also found to have a lower intake of fruits and vegetables (17,18), fiber (19) and some vitamins and minerals (eg, vitamin B, C, magnesium) (19) than day workers.…”

“…Most of these studies also lacked adjustment for major confounders, such as age (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). Another important drawback is that the available studies focused on single nutrients or foods (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24). For a comprehensive evaluation of differences in dietary intake, it is important to study dietary patterns because different nutrients and foods have additive and synergistic interactions (25).…”

Shift workers have a similar diet quality but higher energy intake than day workers by Hulsegge G, Boer JMA, van der Beek AJ, Verschuren WMM, Sluijs I, Vermeulen R, Proper KI Shift workers, particularly those with five or more night shifts, had a higher energy intake than day workers but similar diet quality. A higher energy intake among shift workers may contribute to shift work-induced adverse health outcomes. If confirmed in future studies, those adverse health outcomes may be alleviated by measures aimed at decreasing energy intake among shift workers. Objective Shift work is associated with adverse health outcomes, and an unhealthy diet may be a contributing factor. We compared diet quantity and quality between day and shift workers, and studied exposure-response relationships regarding frequency of night shifts and years of shift work. AffiliationMethods Cross-sectional general population data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition-Netherlands (EPIC-NL) cohort was used. Dietary intake was assessed in 1993-1997 among adults aged 20-70 years using a food frequency questionnaire. We calculated energy intake, the Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS) and WHO-based Healthy Diet Indicator (HDI). In 2011-2014, we retrospectively identified 683 shift workers and 7173 day workers in 1993-1997. Using multivariable-adjusted linear regression analysis, we estimated regression coefficients (β) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of the differences in dietary intake between day and shift workers.Results Shift workers had a higher energy intake than day workers (β:56 kcal/d, 95% CI 10-101), and a higher consumption of grains, dairy products, meat and fish (P<0.05). The difference in energy intake was largest for shift workers with ≥5 night shifts/month. They consumed 103 kcal/d (95% CI 29-176) more than day workers.No associations were found with MDS and HDI.Conclusion Shift workers and particularly those with a high frequency of night shifts had a higher energy intake than day workers. Regardless of number of night shifts and years of shift work, shift workers had similar diet quality as day workers. This suggests that increased energy intake among shift workers may contribute to shift work-induced adverse health outcomes.

Background Numerous studies support the protective effect of high fruit and vegetable consumption on chronic disease risk, mainly against cancer and cardiovascular diseases. The increase of fruit and vegetable intake has become a public health priority in many countries. Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships of socioeconomic, demographic, and behavioral factors with both quantity and variety of fruit and vegetable consumption. Design/subjects Fruit and vegetable intake was assessed using repeated 24-hour dietary records collected during a 2-year period from 4,282 French subjects (2,373 men and 1,909 women), aged 45 to 62 years, who participated in a large prospective study. Statistical analysis Both education level and occupation categories were used as socioeconomic indicators. Logistic regression models were applied to assess factors related to meeting the 5 A Day fruit and vegetable recommendation. Covariance analyses were performed to compare the fruit and vegetable variety scores and the contributions of fruit and vegetables to the total daily diet cost across socioeconomic indicators within each sex.Results Meeting the 5 A Day recommendation was more likely in subjects aged 50 years and older, higher education levels, nonsmokers, moderate alcohol drinkers and in women engaging in regular physical activity. The odds ratio (95% confidence interval) for the lower vs higher education level was 0.70 (0.54 to 0.92) in men and 0.65 (0.48 to 0.85) in women. No significant difference was observed between occupation categories. A positive relationship between vegetable variety and education level was found in both sexes. Fruit variety was positively associated with both education and occupation categories, but only in men. The contribution of fruits to the total daily diet cost increased with occupation (PϽ0.02) and education (PϽ0.0001) in men, but decreased with occupation in women (PϽ0.05). Conclusions Although cost constraints may explain the lower fruit and vegetable intake in lower socioeconomic groups, the relative influence of budgetary resources, nutrition knowledge, and social and environmental barriers in socioeconomic disparities need further investigation.
