Tokyo, Oct. 4 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000063165) titled 'Survey on the association between cardiometabolic risk and work-rest conditions in truck drivers' on Oct. 3.

Primary Sponsor: Institute - International University of Health and Welfare

Condition: Condition - Cardiometabolic risk factors (obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus) Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Specifically, the study tests whether the degree of work burden including night driving and inadequate rest conditions are significantly associated with objective CMRFs (Hypothesis 1), and whether inadequate rest conditions independently contribute to elevated objective CMRFs beyond subjective fatigue accumulation (Hypothesis 2). Basic objectives2 - Others
