Night shift workers are an essential part of our workforce population, who experience a greater risk of developing obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Compelling evidence suggests that night work is associated with disrupted circadian rhythms and eating patterns that heighten weight gain compared with non-shift workers. Current weight management guidance tailored for night shift workers is lacking. This Thesis identifies key determinants of effective weight management interventions for night shift workers via a mixed methods systematic literature review and a mixed methods evaluation of a world-first study - the Shifting Weight using Intermittent Fasting in night shift workers.
