The Linkage between Exposure to Shift Work and Metabolic Syndrome, Prevention and Criteria

Abstract

Maiņu darbs globalizētajā pasaulē, kur piedāvājuma un pieprasījuma ražošana ir augošs mainīgais lielums, izraisa metabolisko sindromu (MS) kā parametru kopumu, kas aptver sirds un asinsvadu veselību un vielmaiņas traucējumus. MS uzskatīts par vienu no jaunajiem veselības pavedieniem saskaņā ar veselības statistiku WHO 2020. Es savā darbā pētīšu pierādījumus par saikni starp šiem diviem subjektiem, jo pierādīta saistība būtu pamats noteiktākiem pasākumiem politiskajā, sabiedrības veselības un individuālajā līmenī, samazinot maiņas darba ietekmi uz veselību.

Shift work in a modern globalized world, with on-demand delivery and production is an increasing variable, while the metabolic syndrome as a complex of parameters, covering cardiovascular health and metabolic dearrangements, is considered one of the emerging health threads according to the WHO Health Statistic 2020. Recognizing the existance of several definitions for the MetS, I will present the evolution of the criteria and their benefits and shortcomings. Furthermore, I will research in my work the evidence of linkage between shift work and MetS, as a proven association would warrant more decisive measures on political, public health and individual level, reducing the impact of shift work on health. Finally, I will present therapeutic and preventive approaches towards shiftwork-related metabolic dearrangements.
