Habitual Sleep Measures are Associated with Overall Body Fat, and not Specifically with Visceral Fat, in Men and Women

摘要: Objective This study aimed to investigate the associations of sleep duration and quality with visceral adipose tissue (VAT) in middle-aged individuals. Methods In this cross-sectional analysis baseline measurements Netherlands Epidemiology Obesity (NEO) study, participants underwent anthropometry completed Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for assessing short (as sex-specific age-adjusted percentiles) poor (PSQI > 5). VAT was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging a random subgroup. We performed linear regression analyses examine measures body fat, adjusted confounding, including total fat models VAT. Results A 5,094 (52% women; mean age 56 [SD 6] years), 1,947 whom had measurements, were analyzed. The difference between 5) good ≤ 7.2cm2 (95% CI: 1.2-13.8) women 16.1cm2 6.2-26.0) men. These differences attenuated toward null after adjustment fat. Similar patterns observed (lowest 10% compared median 60%). Conclusions Our results suggest that are not specifically associated higher amount
