Want to be healthier by eating better?

This study is finding out how a person’s genes and their behaviors influence the effect of night

work on physiological (how the body works) changes that may link to the higher risks for

diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular diseases in night-shift workers. We also want to find out if

certain dietary patterns can help prevent or lessen the negative health effects of night work.
