Poor Diet in Shift Workers: A New Occupational Health Hazard?
Published By: PLOS Medicine on eSS | Published Date: December, 31 , 2011As the world of work becomes increasingly
24 hour, shift work will become
more common. Shift work has the potential to
accelerate the progression of the global
epidemic of obesity and diabetes. Obviously,
diet is only one component in the
pathway to diabetes, but, unlike the metabolic
consequences of a deranged circadian
rhythm it is potentially amenable to
easy intervention. [PLOS Editorial]. URL:[http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.1001152].
