Aims & Objectives

Aims

The SHIFT2HEALTH project aims to develop nutritional and behavioural strategies for people with high risk of obesity caused by circadian disruption.

The strategies developed are based on an advanced understanding of:
the underlying biological pathways, particularly regarding the microbiome, metabolic health and inflammation
the identification of pre-obesity biomarkers,
the expectations, wishes and needs of shift workers
Objectives

To achieve these aims, SHIFT2HEALTH is set up as a 5-year project, solving necessary bottlenecks such as a comprehensive understanding of biological pathways, identification of pre-obesity biomarkers, analysing obesity stigma, stress, work-life balance and circadian rhythm disruption, setting up pilots to assess the effectiveness of obesity management strategies or developing recommendations and guidelines for what constitutes an appropriate healthy diet for different age and health groups.
