Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify major meal and snack eating patterns, and examine their relationships with sleep duration. DESIGN: The analyses included 27 983 participants in a prospective cohort study of women aged 35 to 74 years in the USA or Puerto Rico. RESULTS: The principal component analysis of eight meal and snack frequency items at different times across the day yielded two major eating patterns: (i) eating during conventional eating hours (defined as times from breakfast to dinner); and (ii) dominance of snacks over meals. Comparing the identified eating patterns among women with varying sleep duration (<5, 5-5·9, 6-6·9, 7-7·9, 8-8·9, 9-9·9 and ≥10 h daily), the tendency for eating during conventional eating hours decreased with decreasing sleep duration: adjusted mean score of -0·54 (95% CI -0·68, -0·41) in women sleeping for <5 h daily v. 0·08 (95% CI 0·06, 0·11) among those with 7-7·9 h of sleep daily. The extent of snack dominance over meals increased in women with shorter sleep. Women with long (≥10 h) sleep duration had eating patterns similar to those with short (<6 h) sleep duration. Lower tendency for eating during conventional eating hours and greater snack dominance over meals were also related to higher intakes of fat and sweets for energy and lower intakes of fruits and vegetables. CONCLUSIONS: Disrupted eating patterns and diet of poor nutritional quality may exacerbate the development of obesity and metabolic diseases in habitual short and very long sleepers.

  • Laboratory findings show that physiologic sleep loss is associated with diabetes risk factors, including insulin resistance, and other diabetes risk factors, such as increased consumption of unhealthy foods.

    “These studies are supported by laboratory findings that show that physiologic sleep loss is associated with diabetes risk factors, including insulin resistance,53–56 and other diabetes risk factors, such as increased consumption of unhealthy foods.57–59”

    From Sleep, Health, and Society (2017) · cites this paper as [58]

  • Several studies found an association between optimal sleep (not short sleepers and/or better sleep quality) and healthier eating habits, such as eating breakfast, eating more regular meals, snacking less, eating at home more often, and a greater variety of foods in the diet.

    “Several studies also found an association with optimal sleep (not short sleepers and/or better sleep quality) and healthier eating habits, such as eating breakfast, eating more regular meals, snacking less, eating at home more often and a greater variety of foods in the diet [156, 157, 162, 169–172].”
  • Breakfast skipping was consistently inversely associated with diet quality in six out of nine studies, despite the different definitions used (time-of-day and participant-identified), and in some cases no clear definition was provided.

    “Breakfast skipping was consistently inversely associated with diet quality in six out of nine studies, despite the different definitions used (time-of-day( 88 , 94 ) and participant identified( 22 , 23 , 28 , 86 , 90 )), and in some cases, no clear definition was provided( 87 , 93 ).”

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.
