Is shift work associated with a higher risk of overweight or obesity? A systematic review of observational studies with meta-analysis

摘要

Background: An increasing number of original studies suggest that exposure to shift work could be associated with the risk of overweight and obesity, but the results remain conflicted and inconclusive. This study aimed to quantitatively synthesize available epidemiological evidence on the association between shift work and the risk of overweight and obesity by a meta-analysis.
