Longitudinal associations between sleep duration and subsequent weight gain: A systematic review
Open accessAbstract
Objective To systematically examine the relationship between sleep duration and subsequent weight gain in observational longitudinal human studies.Methods Systematic review of twenty longitudinal studies published from 2004-October 31, 2010.Results While adult studies (n = 13) reported inconsistent results on the relationship between sleep duration and subsequent weight gain, studies with children (n = 7) more consistently reported a positive relationship between short sleep duration and weight gain.Conclusion While shorter sleep duration consistently predicts subsequent weight gain in children, the relationship is not clear in adults. We discuss possible limitations of the current studies: 1) the diminishing association between short sleep duration on weight gain over time after transition to short sleep, 2) lack of inclusion of appropriate confounding, mediating, and moderating variables (i.e., sleep complaints and sedentary behavior), and 3) measurement issues.

In the citing paper
“Notably, among children, the longitudinal association between short sleep and weight gain appears to be stronger and more consistent 107 (Table 2), suggesting strong developmental origins.”
From The effects of sleep disruption on metabolism, hunger, and satiety, and the influence of psychosocial stress and exercise: A narrative review (2024) · cites this paper as [107]
In the citing paper
“It is possible that weight is not gained linearly over the course of the short sleeping period. As a consequence, “in order for short sleep to predict any physiological or behavioral change, the longitudinal time frame examined would need to start prior to or at the beginning of the short sleep transition for each participant” [98], which is less likely to be the case with older ages.”

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.
