Short Sleep Duration Was Associated with Increased Regional Body Fat in US Adults: The NHANES from 2011 to 2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The relationship between sleep duration and different regional fat is unclear. We aimed to investigate the association between sleep duration and different regional fat mass (FM) among a population of US adults.

Methods

9413 participants were included from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), from 2011 to 2018. The sleep duration was divided into short sleep (<7 h/day), normal sleep (7-9 h/day) and long sleep (>9 h/day). Different regional FM was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, including trunk FM, arms FM and legs FM. Fat mass index (FMI) was obtained by dividing FM (kg) by the square of body height (m²). Multiple linear regression was used to evaluate the relationship between sleep duration and regional FMI
