          Abstract

          RESUMEN Para combatir la inactividad física la OMS establece unas recomendaciones y estimula a adaptarlas y estudiar sus efectos en distintas poblaciones. Objetivos: Comprobar si trabajadores sedentarios del sector químico, que cumplen con las recomendaciones de ejercicio mínimo de la OMS tienen menor IMC y niveles de colesterol y triglicéridos que aquellos que no cumplen con estas recomendaciones. Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal sobre 184 empleados varones. Se siguieron las recomendaciones STROBE. Aparte de los descriptivos habituales se usaron los test Chi-cuadrado de independencia y T de Student, así como un método multivariante, la Segmentación CHAID (Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detection). Resultados: Se observó una relación altamente significativa (p=0,004) entre los trabajadores que realizaban ejercicio cumpliendo los requisitos mínimos de la OMS y el IMC normal. Si no se alcanzaba este mínimo, la relación, aunque menor, seguía siendo significativa (p=0,041). Se encontró significación entre el IMC normal y el colesterol y triglicéridos normales (p=0,034 y p=0,033 respectivamente). Conclusiones: El principal factor que predice el IMC en este grupo es que la actividad física alcance los criterios mínimos recomendados por la OMS, independientemente de si los trabajadores tienen puestos activos o sedentarios.

          ABSTRACT To combat physical inactivity, the WHO sets out recommendations and encourages adaptation and study of their effects on different populations. Objective: To check whether sedentary workers in the chemical sector, who comply with the WHO’s minimum exercise recommendations, have lower BMI and cholesterol and triglyceride levels than those who do not comply with these recommendations. Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study on 184 male employees. The STROBE recommendations were followed. In addition to the usual descriptive tests, we used the Chi-Squared Independence Test and the Student T test, as well as a multivariate method, the CHAID Segmentation (Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detection). Results: A highly significant relationship (p=0.004) was observed between workers who exercised in compliance with the WHO minimum requirements and normal BMI. If this minimum was not reached, the relation, although lower, was still significant (p=0.041). Significance was found between normal BMI and normal cholesterol and triglycerides (p=0.034 and p=0.033 respectively). Conclusions: The main factor predicting BMI in this group is that physical activity meets the minimum criteria recommended by the WHO, regardless of whether workers are active or sedentary.

          The Relationship Between Shift Work and Metabolic Risk Factors: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies.

          Although the metabolic health effects of shift work have been extensively studied, a systematic synthesis of the available research is lacking. This review aimed to systematically summarize the available evidence of longitudinal studies linking shift work with metabolic risk factors.

            Shift work and its association with metabolic disorders

            Although the health burden of shift work has not been extensively studied, evidence suggests that it may affect the metabolic balance and cause obesity and other metabolic disorders. Sleep deprivation, circadian desynchronization and behavioral changes in diet and physical activity are among the most commonly mentioned factors in studies of the association between night work and metabolic disorders. Individual adaptation to night work depends greatly on personal factors such as family and social life, but occupational interventions may also make a positive contribution to the transition to shift work, such as exposure to bright lights during the night shift, melatonin use, shift regularity and clockwise rotation, and dietary adaptations for the metabolic needs of night workers. The evaluation of the impact of night work on health and of the mechanisms underlying this relationship can serve as a basis for intervention strategies to minimize the health burden of shift work. This review aimed to identify highlights regarding therapeutic implications following the association between night and shift work and metabolic disorders, as well as the mechanisms and pathways responsible for these relationships.

              Relation of leisure time, occupational, domestic, and commuting physical activity to health indicators in Europe.

              To investigate relationships between physical activities in different domains (leisure time, occupational, domestic, commuting) and health indicators (self-rated health, body mass index). The short version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and additional questions on domain specific physical activity were submitted face-to-face to 29,193 individual's age 15 years and older in the 27 member states of the Europe Union, 2 affiliated nations (Croatia, Turkey), and Cyprus North in 2005 as part of Eurobarometer 64.3. Leisure time physical activity (compared to no leisure time physical activity) was positively associated with self-rated health (males: Odds Ratio (OR)=2.85, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 2.27, 3.58; females: OR=2.77, 95% C.I. 2.16, 3.56) and inversely with obesity (males: OR=0.65, 95% C.I. 0.50, 0.83; females: OR=0.46, 95% C.I. 0.34, 0.63). Being in the highest quartile of the total volume of physical activity expressed using metabolic equivalents (in MET-min/week) (compared to being in the lowest quartile) was not related to self-rated health (males: OR=0.99, 95% C.I. 0.81, 1.21; females: OR=1.19, 95% C.I 0.98, 1.43) or obesity (males: OR=1.25, 95% C.I., 0.99, 1.59; females: OR=1.26, 95% C.I. 1.02, 1.57). Gender-specific effects were observed for other domains of physical activity. Analysis on national levels showed pronounced relationships of leisure time physical activity to health indicators. Domains of physical activity being related to health indicators, they may pertain to surveillance.
