About this trial

The aim of the study is to evaluate circadian glucose, activity and dietary rhythms, as well as metabolic and cardiovascular risk associated with night shift work, sleep quality and well-being in a cohort of hospital staff, comparing employees with night shifts to employees without night shifts.
