Abstract

Objective To characterize the relationship between insulin sensitivity, assessed with the homeostasis model of insulin (HOMA), and objective measurements of sleep duration in adolescents.Study design We conducted a cross-sectional analysis from two examinations conducted in the Cleveland Children's Sleep and Health Cohort (n = 387; 43% minorities). Biochemical and anthropometry measurements were made in a clinical research unit. Sleep duration was measured with actigraphy.Results Decreased sleep duration was associated with increased adiposity and minority race. Sleep duration had a quadratic "u-shape" association with HOMA. When adjusted for age, sex, race, preterm status, and activity, adolescents who slept 7.75 hours had the lowest predicted HOMA (1.96, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.82-2.10), and adolescents who slept 5.0 hours or 10.5 hours had HOMA indices that were approximately 20% higher (2.36; 95% CI, 1.94-2.86; and 2.41; 95% CI, 1.93-3.01, respectively). After adjusting for adiposity, the association between shorter sleep and HOMA was appreciably attenuated, but the association with longer sleep persisted.Conclusions Shorter and longer sleep durations are associated with decreased insulin sensitivity in adolescents. Although the association between shorter sleep duration with insulin sensitivity likely is explained by the association between short sleep duration and obesity, the association between longer sleep and insulin sensitivity is independent of obesity.

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.
