Summary: Objective: This study aimed to examine the association between breakfast skipping, habitual food consumption, and BMI in rotating shift workers. Results: The study found that rotating shift workers who skipped breakfast had lower total energy intake, poorer diet quality, and higher BMI compared to day shift workers. Conclusion: Breakfast skipping on workdays may contribute to differences in dietary intake and BMI between rotating shift workers and day shift workers and may increase BMI in rotating shift workers, independent of dietary intake.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the association between lifestyle behaviors and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among PHC physicians. The results showed that a regular daily routine and good sleep quality were positively associated with HRQoL, while smoking and skipping breakfast were negatively associated with HRQoL. These findings suggest that tailored interventions targeting daily routine, sleep quality, and tobacco control may be effective strategies to improve the HRQoL of PHC physicians.
