Shifting weight on shift work research

Shift workers are more likely to put on more weight placing them at risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes than regular day workers.

Unfortunately, being a shift worker plays havoc on eating and sleeping habits not to mention opportunities for exercise.

Researchers from the University of South Australia and Monash University are undertaking a study exploring novel weight loss regimes in night shift workers.

The SWIFt Study (Shifting Weight in shift workers) is funded under a $1.43 million grant by the NHMRC and will compare three diet strategies to help with weight loss and improve overall health.
