The primary objective of this study was to assess the differences in metabolic and endocrine profiles between night shift and day shift workers in a South Indian cohort.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n This cross-sectional study included 45 night shift workers (NSWs) and 45 day shift workers (DSWs). Metabolic parameters measured were HOMA IR, HDL-C, triglycerides, adiponectin, free fatty acids, and BMI. Hormonal parameters measured were total T3, total T4, TSH, 8 am cortisol, LH, FSH, testosterone, oestradiol, growth hormone, IGF-1, and 25 (OH) vitamin D\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n .\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n NSWs were younger (28.6 \u00b1 5.7 years vs. 31.1 \u00b1 7.2 years;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.022) with a lower mean BMI (24.2 \u00b1 5 kg\/m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n vs. 25.2 \u00b1 5.7 kg\/m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n ;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.33) and higher mean HOMA IR (6.3 \u00b1 5.4 vs. 5.2 \u00b1 4.4;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.26). 77% (n = 35) of NSW had HOMA-IR \u2265 2.5 in comparison to 62% (n = 28) of DSW (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.031). NSW had higher median triglycerides (195\n [90]<\/jats:sup>\n mg\/dl vs. 180\n [44]<\/jats:sup>\n mg\/dl;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.045) and lower mean HDL-C levels (35 \u00b1 2.7 mg\/dl vs. 40 \u00b1 3 mg\/dl;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.001). NSW males had lower mean LH levels (2.8 \u00b1 1.4 mIU\/ml vs. 5.6 \u00b1 3 mIU\/ml;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = <0.001) and testosterone levels (373.6 \u00b1 146 ng\/dl vs. 400 \u00b1 140 ng\/dl;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.5). The mean oestradiol levels were elevated in female NSW (181 \u00b1 84 pg\/ml vs. 100 \u00b1 62 pg\/ml;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.006). 25(OH) vitamin D\n 3<\/jats:sub>\n levels were significantly low in the NSW (10.4 \u00b1 4.8 ng\/ml vs. 13.7 \u00b1 4.5 ng\/ml;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.032).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The present study shows night shift work is associated with increased risk of insulin resistance, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL-C, low LH and testosterone in males, high oestradiol among females, and vitamin D deficiency.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijem.ijem_67_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T14:00:10Z","timestamp":1766152810000},"page":"610-615","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Metabolic and Endocrine Parameters in Night Shift versus Day Shift Workers: Insights from an Observational Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"Vijay S.
