In this middle-to-older-aged active general population sample living in Lausanne, Switzerland, differential associations between permanent night work and the risk of metabolic syndrome for men and women were found.
- Permanent night work was only associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome in men but not in women, an that may be mediated by a higher risk of visceral obesity.
- Contrary to other studies, no association between permanent night work or night-shift work and metabolic syndrome in women was found.
- In contrast to the findings on the metabolic syndrome as a whole, an increased risk of elevated triglycerides among women, but not men, shift workers was found.
