Shift work can disrupt circadian rhythms, sleep, and metabolic regulation.
Research shows: long-term night work is associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes alongside other related health issues.
- Circadian disruption leads to a higher risk of obesity, diabetes & mood disorders

The SHIFT2HEALTH project aims to better understand how nutrition, lifestyle, and work schedules influence metabolic health. To support healthier routines for shift workers.
