SHIFT2HEALTH is an EU-funded research project investigating how shift work affects metabolic health and developing strategies to prevent obesity among shift workers.
The focus group discussions started in Poland and Austria!
As you may already know, shift work can impact health extensively. Scientific how that shift workers face a higher risk of obesity, probably due to…
Recruitment for the cross sectional and nested mechanistic studies started in Vienna and Graz.
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:
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.
