The interactive effect of habitual midday napping and nighttime sleep duration on impaired fasting glucose risk in healthy adolescents.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:To investigate the association between habitual midday napping and impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and the interactive effect of napping and time in bed (TIB) at night on IFG among healthy adolescents. METHODS:The sample comprised 625 early adolescents (12.26 ± 0.63 years old) who self-reported good health status from Jintan, China. Midday napping and nighttime sleep were measured using the Youth Self-report Sleep Questionnaire. Fasting plasma glucose was dichotomized into normal (<5.6 mmol/L) and impaired (≥5.6 mmol/L) levels. The multivariate random-effect logistic regression examined the nap-glucose relationship and the interaction between nap and TIB. Marginal effects of napping were calculated when TIB was held constant at different values. RESULTS:Of the participants, 83.2
