Sleep duration and apolipoprotein B in metabolically healthy and unhealthy overweight/obese phenotypes: a cross-sectional study in Chinese adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Short sleep duration is independently associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease; however, the association has not yet been examined in obese populations. We assessed the associations between sleep duration, metabolic phenotype and apolipoprotein variables in a nationally representative Chinese population with overweight/obesity.

Study design

Cross-sectional study.

Settings

The study conducted in nine provinces of China that vary substantially in geography and economic development.

Patients

Data were obtained from 4149 adults with overweight/obesity aged 18 to 94 years from the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey. Sleep duration was categorised as ≤6, 7-8 or ≥9 hour. Phenotypes were determined based on body mass index a
