A Systematic Review of Nutrition Interventions for Shift Workers, With Subgroup Analysis of First Responder Populations

Introduction

Shift work is an increasingly prevalent feature of the modern workforce, with first responders constituting a critical occupational group required to sustain 24-h operations. Modifiable health behaviour interventions, such as improving diet quality, may be effective in preventing or mitigating the non-communicable disease onset linked to shift work. This review evaluated evidence supporting nutritional interventions in shift workers with first responder populations considered as a pre-specified subgroup of interest.
