Diabetes, metabolic syndrome and obesity : targets and therapy

How sleep length relates to grouping of metabolic syndrome signs

Updated

Abstract

Short sleep duration (<6 hours) is positively associated with the number of (MetS) diagnostic components.

  • A total of 680 participants (15.6%) reported sleeping less than 6 hours.
  • The analysis identified male sex, age, physical activity level, and alcohol intake as independent factors influencing the number of MetS components.
  • Those with shorter sleep durations exhibited a greater number of MetS diagnostic components.
  • The association between short sleep duration and obesity components was consistent with overall findings.
