0175 preliminary baseline characteristics of a prospective night Shift Worker cohort in shenzhen china
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Feng Wang, Shelly L A Tse, Liuzhuo Zhang, Yanfang Zhang, Bo Zhang, Shaohua XieAbstract:Objectives The incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) increases rapidly in China. Growing evidence suggests that alterations in circadian systems and sleep disorders have participated in the etiology of metabolic disorders. This study aims to investigate the relationship between night Shift work and MS risk and examine the underlying mechanisms that have never been explored by previous epidemiological studies. Method We are establishing a prospective night Shift Worker cohort in Shenzhen, China. More than 10 000 participants will be recruited and followed up. A standardized questionnaire is used to collect information on lifetime night Shift work, light at night, occupational hazards, sleep disorders, etc. Fasting blood and spot urine samples are also collected for further usage. All participants will have the annual or biennial occupational physical examination. MS will be diagnosed following the NCEP-ATPIII criteria. Currently, we have recruited more than 4000 Workers but most questionnaires have not yet been input. Results We reported data from the occupational health examination. We obtained 3878 male Workers and 250 female Workers with a response rate of 95%. More than 50% participants are aged from 20–30 years. About 3.4% subjects’ fasting blood glucose was more than 6.1 mmol/L. More than 30% subjects are overweight, and 25% subjects’ is with high blood pressure. Conclusions It is the basic characteristics of the recruited participants. The preliminary result of night Shift work and MS will be present in the conference.

0174 preliminary results of Shift work and cardiovascular risk factors analysing baseline data of a prospective night Shift Worker cohort in shenzhen china
Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2014Co-Authors: Shelly Lap Ah Tsc, Feng Wang, Liuzhuo Zhang, Yanfang Zhang, Bo Zhang, Shaohua XieAbstract:Objectives The incidences of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome increase rapidly in China, while the prevalence of night Shift work is also increasing. This study aims to investigate the relationship between night Shift work and CVD risk factors by analysing the baseline data of a prospective cohort study. Method We are establishing a prospective night Shift Worker cohort in Shenzhen, China. More than 10 000 Workers will be recruited and followed up. Currently, we have recruited more than 4000 Workers but most questionnaires have not yet been input. A standardised questionnaire is used to collect information on lifetime night Shift work, light at night, occupational hazards, sleep disorders, etc. Fasting blood and spot urine samples are also collected for further usage. CVD risk factors include hypertension, diabetes, overweight and dyslipidemia etc. All participants will have the annual or biennial occupational physical examination. Results We reported data from a manufacturing company dealing with welding and shipment. We obtained 131 day Workers and 370 Shift Workers with a response rate of 95%. The Shift Workers are significantly younger than day Workers. The smoking and alcohol drinking status are comparable in two groups. The presence of number of CVD risk factors positively relate to the years of Shift work after adjusting for age and other confounding factors. Conclusions These preliminary results suggest long-term night Shift work may increase CVD risk factors, while these will be updated in the conference.

night Shift work exposure profile and obesity baseline results from a chinese night Shift Worker cohort
PLOS ONE, 2018Co-Authors: Wenting Feng, Feng Wang, Liuzhuo Zhang, Bo Zhang, Zijun Wu, Zhimin Li, Yonghua He, Mengjie Li, Martin C S WongAbstract:AIMS: This study aimed to evaluate the associations between types of night Shift work and different indices of obesity using the baseline information from a prospective cohort study of night Shift Workers in China. METHODS: A total of 3,871 Workers from five companies were recruited from the baseline survey. A structured self-administered questionnaire was employed to collect the participants' demographic information, lifetime working history, and lifestyle habits. Participants were grouped into rotating, permanent and irregular night Shift work groups. Anthropometric parameters were assessed by healthcare professionals. Multiple logistic regression models were used to evaluate the associations between night Shift work and different indices of obesity. RESULTS: Night Shift Workers had increased risk of overweight and obesity, and odds ratios (ORs) were 1.17 (95% CI, 0.97-1.41) and 1.27 (95% CI, 0.74-2.18), respectively. Abdominal obesity had a significant but marginal association with night Shift work (OR = 1.20, 95% CI, 1.01-1.43). A positive gradient between the number of years of night Shift work and overweight or abdominal obesity was observed. Permanent night Shift work showed the highest odds of being overweight (OR = 3.94, 95% CI, 1.40-11.03) and having increased abdominal obesity (OR = 3.34, 95% CI, 1.19-9.37). Irregular night Shift work was also significantly associated with overweight (OR = 1.56, 95% CI, 1.13-2.14), but its association with abdominal obesity was borderline (OR = 1.26, 95% CI, 0.94-1.69). By contrast, the association between rotating night Shift work and these parameters was not significant. CONCLUSION: Permanent and irregular night Shift work were more likely to be associated with overweight or abdominal obesity than rotating night Shift work. These associations need to be verified in prospective cohort studies.
