Shift work is associated with a higher risk of the development of cardiometabolic syndrome (CMtS) than in people working only during the day. One of the factors predisposing to the development of the CMtS in shift workers is an inappropriate composition of their diet. It was observed that the shift workers diet is characterized by a higher intake of saturated fatty acids (SFA) and a lower consumption of unsaturated fatty acids. One potential way to reduce the risk of CMtS in this study group seems to be a modification of their everyday diet by excluding the products of animal origin (e.g. butter) with simultaneously including vegetable oils (i.e. canola oil). The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of replacement in the everyday diet of saturated fats (butter) with unsaturated fats (canola oil-based spread and canola oil added to main meals) in centrally obese shift workers on changes in body weight and body composition parameters as well as on changes in CMtS markers.
