Sleep duration and overweight: is there a relationship in adolescence?

ABSTRACT: Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep duration and excess weight in Brazilian adolescents. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted with 65,837 adolescents, aged 12 to 17 years, enrolled in the Study of Cardiovascular Risks in Adolescents (ERICA). Sleep duration was assessed by means of a questionnaire focusing on weekday and weekend hours of sleep. Nutritional status was assessed based on body mass index, and participants were classified according to age and gender. The statistical analysis was performed with the Stata 13 software, using the survey command. Poisson regression was used to determine the association of excess weight with sleep duration categories. Results: A decline in sleep duration was associated with advancing age. The prevalence of short and long-term sleep among adolescents was 17.9 and 3.6%, respectively, while overweight was diagnosed in 25.5% of the sample. Adolescents who reported having short sleep had 10% (PR = 1.10; 95%CI 1.06 – 1.15) more overweight, while those who reported sleeping more than 11 hours had approximately 12% (PR = 0.88; 95%CI 0.78 – 0.99) less excess weight. Conclusion: Our findings reinforce the assumption that insufficient sleep poses health risks, and encouraging regular and sufficient sleep may be a cost-effective intervention for the prevention of overweight in adolescence.

Current evidence on the relationship of phytoestrogens with sleep is limited and contradictory. In particular, studies on individual phytoestrogens and sleep have not been reported. Thus, this study aimed to appraise the associations of individual phytoestrogens with sleep disorders and sleep duration. This cross-sectional study comprising 4830 adults utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2005–2010. Phytoestrogens were tested in urine specimens. Sleep disorders and sleep duration were based on a self-reported doctor’s diagnosis and usual sleep duration. The main analyses utilized logistic and multinomial logistic regression models and a restricted cubic spline. In the fully adjusted model, compared with tertile 1 (lowest), the odds ratios (95% confidence intervals (CIs)) of sleep disorders for the highest tertile of urinary concentrations of enterolactone, enterodiol, and O-desmethylangolensin were 0.64 (0.41–1.00), 1.54 (1.07–2.21), and 1.89 (1.26–2.85), respectively. Linear inverse, approximatively linear positive, and inverted L-shaped concentration–response relationships were found between enterolactone, enterodiol, and O-desmethylangolensin and sleep disorders, respectively. Compared with normal sleep (7–8 h/night), the relative risk ratio (RRR) (95% CI) of very short sleep for enterolactone was 0.56 (0.36–0.86), and the RRR (95% CI) of long sleep risk for genistein was 0.62 (0.39–0.99). Furthermore, negative associations of genistein with sleep disorders and enterolactone with long sleep risk, as well as positive associations of enterodiol with both long and very short sleep, were observed in the stratified analysis by age or gender. Finally, a notable finding was that urinary O-desmethylangolensin concentration was positively related to sleep disorders in both females aged 40–59 years and non-Hispanic Whites but inversely associated with sleep disorders in both females aged 60 years or over and other Hispanics. Our findings suggested that enterolactone and genistein might be beneficial for preventing sleep disorders or non-normal sleep duration among adults, and enterodiol might be adverse toward this goal. However, the association of O-desmethylangolensin with sleep disorders might be discrepant in different races and females of different ages.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is one of the common presentations in the medical as well as Gastroenterology clinics and it can end up in various short- and long-term complications among which osteoporosis is highly under rated. Therefore, the present study was designed to determine the frequency of osteoporosis in cases having PUD. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Medicine during 1st January 2020 to 30th June 2020 in Sheikh Zayed Hospital, Lahore. The diagnosed cases of PUD on the basis of history and endoscopic findings with the age range of 20 to 60 years were included. Osteoporosis was labelled as yes, where a T-score of ≤ -2.5 on DEXA scan was noted. RESULTS: In this study, there were a total of 139 cases, out of which 75 (53.95%) were males and 64 (46.05%) females. The mean age of the participants was 48.11±9.43 years. Osteoporosis was observed in 14 (10.07%) out of 139 cases. Osteoporosis was seen in 05 (6.67%) males vs 09 (14.06%) females in their respective groups with p= 0.148. Osteoporosis was observed in 4 (5.80%) cases with a duration of PUD up to 2 years and 10 (14.28%) cases with duration more than this with p= 0.096 CONCLUSION: Osteoporosis is not uncommon in cases with Peptic ulcer disease, and there is no significant association with any of the confounders of this study.

IntroductionCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of on-duty fatalities among U.S. firefighters. Research has demonstrated that many modifiable risk factors are contributors to the high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors. The current study aimed to assess whether sleep is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors among Indianapolis firefighters. The findings could support improving sleep hygiene in this population.Material and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from the baseline data of eligible firefighters enrolled in “Feeding America’s Bravest”, a Mediterranean diet lifestyle intervention within the Indiana Fire Departments. Participants’ sleep quality was categorized as “good” (≤ 8 points) or “bad” (>8 points) by a sleep quality questionnaire based on some questions from Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. In addition, firefighters’ sleep duration was stratified based on the number of hours slept per night (≤6 as “short sleep” or >6 hours as normal). Linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the association of sleep with cardiometabolic risk factors.ResultsA total of 258 firefighters were included. Bad sleepers had higher weight, greater waist circumference, higher body mass index (BMI), and increased body fat (all p<0.01) compared to good sleepers. Similarly, participants with short sleep duration were heavier (p<0.02), had greater BMI (p<0.02) and increased body fat (p<0.04) compared with participants with normal sleep duration. Both bad and short sleepers had a higher prevalence of hypertension and obesity (p <0.05).ConclusionsOur study supports that both sleep quality and quantity are associated with cardiometabolic risk among firefighters.

Short Sleep

Abstract: Obesity is defined as an abnormal accumulation of body fat in proportion to body size. Obesity is a public health crisis that is very substantial. The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly in many industrialized countries around the world and become a pandemic that needs immediate attention. Cause of obesity is more complex than the simple paradigm of energy imbalance, but various mechanisms contribute to obesity, including short sleep duration. The purpose of this study was to describe sleep duration and overweight adolescents and to determine the relationship of sleep duration and overweight. This research is an analytic survey with cross sectional study. Study was conducted in junior and senior high school Pax Christi and Rex Mundi Manado, obtained 32 samples of survey respondents with a body mass index above 23.0. Characteristics of the respondents, namely: Age between 14-16 years ever with 15 people (46.9%); Body mass index between 23 to 29.9 were 19 respondents (59.3%); Age at the start of fat, between the ages of 11-15 years as many as 20 people (62.5%); Data diet, greasy 15 respondents (46.9%); Data bedtime, sleep 5-7 hours a night, 21 respondents (65.6%), length of time between the 30 minute nap - 1 hour and between 1 – 2 hours have 13 respondents (40.6%) each. Based on the results of the study, short sleep pattern at night is associated with obesity among (teenage students) of the respondents. Increase and decrease grehlin / leptin, plays a role in relation to the increase in sleep patterns diets ultimately cause obesity. Keywords: Obesity, short sleep patterns, grehlin, leptin, increased appetite.Abstrak: Obesitas didefinisikan sebagai akumulasi abnormal dari lemak tubuh dibandingkan dengan ukuran tubuh normal. Obesitas merupakan krisis kesehatan masyarakat yang sangat substansial. Prevalensi obesitas meningkat dengan cepat di sejumlah negara industri di seluruh dunia dan menjadi pandemik yang memerlukan perhatian segera. Penyebab obesitas lebih kompleks daripada paradigma sederhana ketidakseimbangan energi, namun berbagai mekanisme turut berperan didalamnya, termasuk durasi tidur yang singkat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan dan untuk mengetahui hubungan durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan. Penelitian ini bersifat survey analitik dengan study cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di SMP Pax Christi dan SMA Rex Mundi Manado, diperoleh 32 sampel responden penelitian dengan indeks massa tubuh diatas 23,0.

One third of U.S. adults report short sleep (<7 h), which has been linked to negative health outcomes. Inadequate intake of micronutrients across the U.S. adult population has been reported, and a relationship between sleep conditions and micronutrient intake is emerging. This cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2016) (n = 26,211) showed that participants with short sleep duration had a lower usual intake (Food + Supplements) of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in all adults aged 19+ years, and vitamin K in adults aged 19–50 years, even after adjusting for covariates. In addition, participants reporting short sleep had a higher percentage of individuals with intake lower than the estimated average requirement (EAR) across multiple nutrients. Age and gender differences were observed in the prevalence of inadequate intake across multiple nutrients. Adults aged 51–99 years with short sleep duration had inadequate intake with respect to more nutrients. In females there was an association between short sleep and a higher prevalence of inadequate intake (Food + Spp) for calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, E, and K (above adequate intake). Conversely, males reporting short sleep only had an inadequate intake of vitamin D. Overall, we demonstrate that short sleep is associated with increased nutrient inadequacy, emphasizing the possible need for dietary supplementation.
