Sleep quality and its relation to anthropometric and metabolic factors in overweight/obese patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate whether poor sleep quality could predict non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Results

In this case-control study, sleep duration and quality were assessed in 72 overweight or obese patients with newly diagnosed NAFLD as "cases" compared with 72 age-and sex-matched adults without NAFLD as "controls". Weight, height, and the circumferences of the waist, hip, and neck, as well as metabolic (glycemia, lipid profile, liver function biomarkers) and hematological factors (complete blood cell count), were assessed. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the global PSQI score was classified into good sleep quality (< 6) and low sleep quality (≥ 6). Cases showed significantly greater body mass index (BMI), waist c
