Sleep Duration and Five-Year Abdominal Fat Accumulation in a Minority Cohort: The IRAS Family Study
Open accessAbstract
STUDY OBJECTIVES: To study 5-year change in computed tomography (CT)-derived visceral adipose tissue (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) associated with sleep duration in 2 minority groups. DESIGN: Longitudinal epidemiologic study. SETTING: Three US communities. PARTICIPANTS: African Americans (N = 332) and Hispanic Americans (N = 775), aged 18-81 years, participating in the IRAS Family Study. INTERVENTIONS: none MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Abdominal CT scans and BMI obtained at a 5-year interval. Sleep duration was assessed by questionnaire at baseline and categorized as < or = 5 h, 6-7 h, and > or = 8 h. Generalized estimating equations assessed the association between sleep duration and 5-year fat accumulation with adjustment for age, race, gender, study site, baseline fat measure, physical activity, total calories, smoking status, and education. Age interacted with sleep duration to predict change in fat measures (P < 0.01). In those younger than 40 years, < or = 5 h of sleep was related to a greater accumulation of BMI (1.8 kg/m2, P < 0.001), SAT (42 cm2, P < 0.0001), and VAT (13 cm2, P > 0.01), compared to sleep duration between 6 and 7 h. Eight hours or more of sleep was also significantly related to a greater accumulation of BMI (0.8 kg/m2, P < 0.001), SAT (20 cm2, P < 0.01) and VAT (6 cm2, P < 0.05) compared to sleep duration between 6 and 7 h. No significant relationship existed between sleep duration and fat depot change in participants older than 40 years old. CONCLUSIONS: In this minority cohort, extremes of sleep duration are related to increases in BMI, SAT, and VAT in persons younger than 40 years old.

In a 5-year study of African Americans and Hispanic Americans adults, individuals 40 years and younger who self-reported sleeping ≤5-h per night had a 1.8 kg/m2 greater change in BMI than those reporting 6-7 h of sleep per night.
“In a 5-year study of African Americans and Hispanic Americans adults, individuals 40 years and younger who self-reported sleeping ≤5-h per night had a 1.8 kg/m 2 greater change in BMI than those reporting 6-7 h of sleep per night.87”

In a 5-year study of 1107 adults, among adults <40 years old, short sleep (≤5 h/night) was associated with a 1.79 kg/m2 increase and long sleep (≥8 h/night) with a 0.9 kg/m2 increase in BMI over 5 years relative to reference (6-7 h/night).

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.
