Association of sleep duration and quality with serum testosterone concentrations among men and women: NHANES 2011-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between testosterone concentrations and sleep duration is poorly understood.

Objective

To evaluate the association between sleep duration and quality with serum testosterone concentrations and its variation by sex and age.

Methods

Data were analyzed for 8748 men and women (≥20 years old) who participated in the cycles of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2016, a cross-sectional study. Total testosterone (ng/dL) was measured and categorized (low, moderate, and high) based on established cut-offs for men and its tertile distribution among women. Sleep duration was classified as ≤6, 7-8, and ≥9 h. Sleep quality was classified as poor or good based on the frequency of trouble falling or staying asleep or sleeping too much
