The association between sleep duration and overweight or obesity in Taiwanese adults: A cross-sectional study - 01/08/18
Summary |
Background/objective |
The effect of eating habits and sedentary lifestyle on obesity has been extensively examined and supported; however, few studies have examined the association of sleep duration with obesity in Taiwan. To redress this gap, this study investigated the association of sleep duration with overweight and obesity in community-dwelling Taiwanese adults.
Methods |
A cross-sectional study was performed using the 2005–2008 Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT). A logistic regression model was used to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of the association of sleep duration with overweight and obesity. Nightly sleep duration was divided into three groups: >6 to <9h (normal), ≤6h (short), and ≥9h (long).
Results |
A total of 1548 adults aged 20–64 years were examined in this study. The adjusted ORs of obesity for short and long sleep duration relative to a normal sleep duration were 1.31 (95% CI 1.01, 1.76) and 1.64 (95% CI 1.04, 2.61), respectively. No significant association of sleep duration with overweight was observed.
Conclusions |
The present study suggests that both short and long sleep duration are associated with obesity risk.
