Objective: To compare changes in weight and dyslipidemias between the shift workers and administrative workers, subject to a multidisciplinary program to lose weight. Materials and Methods: The sample comprised 110 male workers, aged between 35 and 50 years: 58 day shift workers (GA) and 52 irregular (day/night) shift workers (GT). The workers were assisted by a multidisciplinary team composed of: physical educator, doctor, nutritionist and psychologist. Initially, all workers were submitted to an interview with the team in order to understand the program proposals. Then, they were submitted to several tests: measurement of body weight, height, body mass index – BMI and levels of HDL, VLDL, LDL and triglycerides (TG). During three years the groups had nutritional guidance (monthly), clinical examinations (trimesterly) and underwent a program of physical activity, which comprised aerobic and strength training. After three years, new weight and biochemical assessments were made. Results and Discussion: As a result it was found in the GA: average weight loss of 7.17 kg, an HDL increase of 9.49 mg/dl, a VLDL, LDL and TG reduction of 0.35 mg/dl, 8.19 mg/dl and 4.45 mg/dl respectively. The results observed in the GT, were: weight loss of 3.94 kg; HDL increase of 3.47 mg/dl, as well as VLDL, LDL and TG increase of 6.04 mg/dl, 6.85 mg/dl and, 62.69 mg/dl respectively. Conclusion: The results showed that day shift workers submitted to the same weight loss program, had achieved better levels regarding weight loss and dyslipidemia control, when compared to irregular (day/night) shift workers.
