[French shift workers seen at health centres have an increased risk of lipid disorders].

CONCLUSION: Our results are in agreement with previous studies showing a deleterious effect of shift work on lipid metabolism. In our population, triglycerides and HDL-C levels were the main parameters negatively influenced by shift work. Consequently, a regular biological monitoring together with the promotion of healthy behaviours should be provided to shift workers before negative consequences of working shift become noticeable.
