Data extraction and quality assessment were performed independently by the two authors using a standardised procedure. Synthesis of data is presented in text and tabular format. Meta\u2011analysis was not possible due to the heterogenic nature of the studies reviewed.<br \/>\nResults: This review retrieved seventeen studies that met all inclusion criteria. The majority of the studies found that shift workers had more adverse lifestyle behaviours. Compared to non\u2011shift workers, the nutritional intake of shift workers is less healthy and they are more likely to smoke when compared to non\u2011shift workers. Shift workers also tend to be overweight. The impact of shift work on exercise patterns and alcohol consumption could not be ascertained because of the paucity of high quality studies.<br \/>\nConclusions: Shift work impacts negatively on daily health habits and can lead to adverse health outcomes, such as poor dietary intake, smoking, and becoming overweight. The majority of Australian health care workers, and in particular nurses, work rotating shifts. It is important to have a greater understanding of the impact of shift work on our health care workforce.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Authors<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Isabella Zhao<\/li>\n<li>Catherine Turner<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Keywords<\/h2>\n<p>shift work, diet, BMI, smoking, exercise, alcohol<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<p>References not available for this article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was originally published as: The impact of shift work on people\u2019s daily health habits and adverse health outcomes&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[124],"tags":[5119,5121,4343,1514,4178,5122],"class_list":["post-7761","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","tag-alcohol","tag-bmi","tag-diet","tag-exercise","tag-shift-work","tag-smoking","wpcat-124-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
