Association of sleep duration with Visceral Adiposity Index: a cross-sectional study based on the NHANES 2007-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We aimed to assess the associations between sleep duration and Visceral Adiposity Index (VAI).

Design

Cross-sectional study.

Setting

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2007-2018).

Participants

A total 11 252 eligible participants who have complete information for sleep duration and VAI.

Outcome measure

The VAI index, which is sex-specific and takes into consideration factors such as waist circumference, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides, was calculated in accordance with prior research. Multiple linear regressions and subgroup analyses were employed to evaluate the connection between the duration of sleep and the VAI.

Results

The mean sleep duration and VAI of included participants
