Association between shift work in early pregnancy, snacking, and inappropriate weight gain during pregnancy: The Japan Environment and Children's Study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between night shifts and snacking behaviors during pregnancy using Japanese maternal-infant longitudinal data from a large-scale study.

Methods

This study used the Japan Environment and Children's Study dataset jecs-ta-20190930, released in October 2019. After simple analysis using analysis of variance and multiple comparisons, crude odds ratios (cOR) and adjusted odds ratios (aORs) were calculated.

Results

There was no significant association between inappropriate weight gain during pregnancy and night shift work in early pregnan
