Rotating shift-work as an independent risk factor for overweight Italian workers: a cross-sectional study.

<h4>Background</h4>A job-related factor is attracting a growing interest as a possible determinant of body weight gain in shift-workers.<h4>Objective</h4>The aim of the study was to reinvestigate the issue of overweight between rotating shift workers and daytime workers, taki...
