Sleep duration, plasma metabolites, and obesity and diabetes: a metabolome-wide association study in US women.

ABSTRACT: Short and long sleep duration are associated with adverse metabolic outcomes, such as obesity and diabetes. We evaluated cross-sectional differences in metabolite levels between women with self-reported habitual short (<7 h), medium (7-8 h), and long (≥9 h) sleep duration to delineate potential underlying biological mechanisms. In total, 210 metabolites were measured via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in 9207 women from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS; N = 5027), the NHSII (N = 2368), and the Women's Health Initiative (WHI; N = 2287). Twenty metabolites were consistently (i.e. praw < .05 in ≥2 cohorts) and/or strongly (pFDR < .05 in at least one cohort) associated with short sleep duration after multi-variable adjustment. Specifically, levels of two lysophosphatidylethanolamines, fo
