Abstract

Objective: Short sleep duration induces hormonal perturbations contributing to hyperphagia, insulin resistance, and obesity. The majority of these studies are conducted in young adults. This analysis in a large (n = 769) sample of postmenopausal women (median age 63 years) sought to (a) confirm that sleep duration and sleep quality are negatively correlated with circulating leptin concentrations and (b) to examine the relationship between self‐reported sleep, dietary energy intake, and diet quality, as well as, investigate the role of leptin in these associations. Methods: Sleep duration/quality, insomnia, and dietary intake were determined via self‐report. Blood samples were collected following an overnight fast to assess serum leptin concentration. All analyses were adjusted for total body fat mass. Results: Women reporting ≤6 hr sleep/night had lower serum leptin concentrations than those reporting ≥8 hr sleep (P = 0.04). Furthermore, those with ≤6 hr sleep/night reported higher dietary energy intake (P = 0.01) and lower diet quality (P = 0.04) than the reference group (7 hr sleep/night). Women sleeping ≥8 hr also reported lower diet quality than the reference group (P = 0.02). Importantly, serum leptin did not confound these associations. Conclusions: These results provide evidence that sleep duration is inversely associated with serum leptin and dietary energy intake in postmenopausal women.

  • In a cohort of 769 postmenopausal women, fasting and morning leptin concentrations were positively associated with self-reported sleep duration, such that women reporting ≤6 h of sleep had lower leptin concentrations than those reporting ≥8 h.

    “in a cohort of 769 postmenopausal women, Stern et al. 65 reported that fasting and morning leptin concentrations were positively associated with self-reported sleep duration, such that women reporting ≤6 h of sleep had lower leptin concentrations than those reporting ≥8 h of sleep.”
  • Among studies using self-reported sleep duration, shorter sleep duration was associated with greater total energy intake.

    “Among studies that relied on self-reported measures of sleep duration, shorter sleep durations were associated with greater total energy intake [150, 158, 159, 164, 166, 174], greater fat intake [163, 164], greater carbohydrate intake [158, 164] and greater alcohol intake [159, 160].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
