Excerpt

Shift work (an occupation requiring work between 2200 and 0500H) comprises approximately 20% of the workforce in Europe and North America [1]. This is likely to increase, with many shift workers (SWs) in emergency services, retail, hospitality, healthcare, transportation and manufacturing [2]. SWs are at increased risk for negative health outcomes, including cancer and other chronic diseases [3, 4]. Biological changes from poor lifestyle habits related to shift work (e.g. low physical activity (PA), poor nutrition, obesity) are thought to contribute to this risk; these factors are also amenable to lifestyle intervention [5]. PA in particular, reduces cancer risk [6], and has many positive physical and psychological benefits [7]. It is a simple, cost-effective strategy that may be implemented by individual workers or within workplaces to mitigate risk. …
