ABSTRACT

Fundamentos: El trabajo a turnos induce hábitos de vida anómalos, lo cual se asocia a mayor morbilidad en los trabajadores. En este estudio se realiza una valoración de los hábitos nutricionales durante la semana laboral según el turno de trabajo en un grupo de trabajadores del Ayuntamiento de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. Métodos: La población de estudio estuvo compuesta por 255 peones de limpieza viaria, 28 recolectores de recogida de residuos sólidos y 18 trabajadores del servicio de limpieza; sometidos a turnos de trabajo (mañanas, tardes, noches y rotatorio), que representan el 87% del colectivo municipal en estudio. El número de encuestas estudiadas ha sido 262. Se determinó la ingesta dietética mediante cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos autoadministrado con ochenta y dos alimentos, junto a una valoración del turno de trabajo, estilos de vida, actividad física, hábitos de consumo de las comidas principales, actividad física, hábitos tabáquicos, formas de vivir, categoría profesional, edad y sexo. Los datos fueron analizados mediante el paquete estadístico SPSS Base v. 15.0 para entorno Windows. Se calculó el consumo medio de alimentos (gr. /día) según turnicidad. La proporción de la distribución de las variables categóricas se realizó mediante la prueba de Chi-cuadrado. Resultados: Se observa que sólo un 34% desayunan en casa al levantarse, y un 76% hacen una comida a media mañana. Los postres en la comida son fruta (50%) y pasteles o lácteos (50%), y en la cena son mayoritariamente lácteos y pasteles (70%) y en menor proporción fruta (30%). Existen pocas diferencias en función del turno, a excepción del hábito de comer entre horas o snacks. Un 30% de la población cena un vaso de leche con galletas. Conclusiones: El hábito de tomar determinados alimentos tiene relación con el turno laboral. Es necesario mejorar localidad nutricional de la totalidad del colectivo estudiado mejorando el desayuno y la cena, y disminuyendo las comidas entre horas y los picoteos. Educar tanto al colectivo en estudio como a todos los trabajadores sometidos a turnicidad, mediante estudios previos al comenzar los cambios de turnos y con Guías adaptadas a cada turno de trabajo es una necesidad a corto plazo(AU)


Background. Shift work induces anomalous life styles, associated to increased morbidity in the workers. In this study and assessment of nutritional habits is made (breakfast, meals, outer suppers and exits) during the labour week according to the work turn in a group of workers of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria Town Council.

Results: In this group it is observed that only a 34% have breakfast in house when rising, and a 76% make a food to mid-morning. The desserts in the food are milky fruit (50%) and pies (70%) and in smaller proportion fruit (30%). Few differences based on the turn exist, with the exception of the habit to eat between hours or snacks. A 30% of the population have supper a milk glass with cakes. Conclusions: the habit to take certain foods has relation with the labour turn.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Shift workers are known to have increased morbidity associated to wrong habits. In this study we have evaluated the nutritional status, food habits and physical activity in health shift workers. SUBJECTS: 207 permanent morning-shift workers and 210 shift workers (3-shift system) were randomized selected from the 2,100 workers of the North Area of the Canary Island Sanitary Health System. METHODS: Dietary intake was assessed by a self-registered food frequency questionnaire. We also assessed Body Mass Index, blood lipid levels (total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides), physical activity, age and sex. RESULTS: Shift workers shown higher intake of red meat, eggs, fruit juices and pasta. No differences were observed in lipid levels, weight status and physical activity in relation to the shift working status. 62% of men and 37.2% of women were overweight or obese. 46% of the subjects were sedentary. CONCLUSIONS: Shift work system seems to have little influence on the food habits of health workers.

Objetivo: El trabajo a turnos induce hábitos de vida anómalos, lo cual se asocia al aumento de la morbilidad en los trabajadores. En este estudio se valoró el estado nutricional, los hábitos alimentarios y la actividad física de trabajadores hospitalarios sometidos a turnos. Ámbito: La población de estudio estuvo compuesta por 207 trabajadores con turno fijo de mañana y 210 con turno rotatorio (mañana, tarde y noche) seleccionados aleatoriamente entre 2.100 trabajadores. Intervenciones: La ingesta dietética se determinó mediante cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos autoadministrado. También se determinaron índice de masa corporal, parámetros lipídicos (colesterol total, colesterol HDL, colesterol LDL y triglicéridos), actividad física, edad y sexo. Resultados: Los trabajadores sometidos a turnicidad mostraron un mayor consumo de ternera, huevos, zumos y pastas. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en cuanto a niveles lipídicos, estado ponderal ni de actividad física entre los trabajos sometidos y no a turnicidad y no. El 62% de los hombres y el 37,2% de las mujeres mostraron sobrecarga ponderal (obesidad y sobrepeso).El 46% de los individuos de la muestra presentaron sedentarismo. Conclusiones: La turnicidad en los trabajadores hospitalarios influye sólo parcialmente en los hábitos alimentarios de dicho colectivo (AU)
