Le travail par quarts présente des risques associés au syndrome métabolique et à une faible qualité de sommeil.Cette étude visait à examiner le syndrome métabolique et la qualité du sommeil chez les pompiers et les mineurs travaillant en équipe et en journée.
Shift workers have risks associated with metabolic syndrome and low sleep quality.This study aimed to examine metabolic syndrome and sleep quality in firefighters and mine workers working shifts and daytime hours.A comparative descriptive study was conducted in two institutions on firefighters and mine workers (n = 120) who were working shifts (n = 84) and working daytime hours (n = 36). The data were obtained using a questionnaire including socio-demographic information, anthropometric measurements and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.When risk of metabolic syndrome was compared with sleep quality, it was found that according to International Diabetes Federation criteria, 11% of those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome among shift-working firefighters and 5% of those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome among shift-working miners had low sleep quality. It was found that according to the National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III criteria, 9% of those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome among shift firefighters and 2% of those diagnosed with metabolic syndrome among shift miners had low sleep quality.Preventive measures should be taken to reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome in shift workers.
