Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Sleep is one of the major means to maintain health. The association of short sleep duration with obesity, diabetes, fatty liver and behavioral factors requires further exploration. METHODS: A total of 8157 Japanese men who underwent health evaluations were divided into 3 groups by sleep duration <5 hours, 5~<7 hours and ≥7 hours. Poor sleep was self-reported, being defined as difficulty of getting to sleep or awakening easily. The age-adjusted and age and poor sleep-adjusted odds ratios of the 3 groups for obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, mental stress, poor sleep, regular exercise and late dinner time were investigated. RESULTS: Compared to the sleep duration 5~<7 hours group, the age-adjusted odds ratios of the <5 hours group were significantly higher for obesity (1.42), diabetes (1.63), mental stress (1.75), poor sleep (1.85), late dinner time (1.47), and significantly lower for regular exercise (0.61); while those of the ≥7 hours group were significantly lower for obesity (0.73), fatty liver (0.82), mental stress (0.73), poor sleep (0.69), late dinner time (0.45), and significantly higher for regular exercise (1.27). Above significances still existed after adjustment for age and poor sleep. CONCLUSION: Short sleep duration is associated with obesity, diabetes, fatty liver and multiple behavioral factors. The optimal sleep duration for health promotion and effective actions for obtaining optimal sleep, including modifications of behavioral and environmental factors, should be one of the major concerns of public health.

  • Short sleep duration is associated with diabetes-related outcomes, including diabetes, insulin and/or glucose dysregulation, and dysregulation of metabolic hormones.

    “Regarding diabetes-related outcomes, short sleep duration has been associated with diabetes (Buxton & Marcelli, 2010; Grandner et al., 2014a; Hsieh et al., 2011; Kachi et al., 2012), insulin and/or glucose dysregulation (Beihl et al., 2009; Byberg et al., 2012; Chang et al., 2012b; Chaput et al., 2009; Javaheri et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2011; Lucassen et al., 2012; Zuo et al., 2012), and dysre”

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.
