Abstract
Shift workers, particularly those working rotating and night shifts, are at an increased risk of diabetes Shift work impacts health behaviours like diet, which may contribute to poor health outcomes in this population. Limited studies have investigated diet quality and sources of food in shift workers. The aims of this cross-sectional study were to examine associations between types of shift work and i) reported diet quality and ii) use of vending machines and packed lunches, in a population of free-living individuals.
