“…Other cross-sectional study involving men and women found a similar U-shaped association, considering short sleepers (<7h ) and long sleepers (>8 h) [81]. However, several studies found that only short sleep, and not long sleep duration, is a risk factor for central obesity [82][83][84].…”

Abdominal obesity (AO) is associated with endothelial dysfunction, inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. AO is a multifactorial disorder arising from genetic, environmental, socioeconomic, and behavioral factors. Thus, in this chapter, we devote ourselves to the exercise of trying to explain the epidemiology of AO in adults. We showed the increasing prevalence of AO around the world, and a gender difference in this determination was observed. Among women, the population group who is the most affected by AO, a higher prevalence of AO is observed in individuals living in low-or middle-income countries (LMIC), who are older, multiparous, and in the menopausal transition, and who belong to the poorest strata and have lower educational level. While among men, the risk of AO is positively associated with socioeconomic status, particularly in LMIC. Regarding behavioral factors (eating frequency, sleep duration, physical activity, and smoking), gender differences are difficult to be detected due to the lack of studies investigating their association with AO according to sex. However, the current evidence suggests that men benefit more from consuming a greater number of meals a day and women are more affected by the harmful effects of physical inactivity. We argued AO, despite biological conditions associated with behavior factors, should be examined as an important issue of gender inequality in health, possibly mediated by socioeconomic and behavioral differences between men and women.

“…Our results are in agreement with prior reports showing carbohydrate diet consumption resulted in shorter wake times and high fat diets resulted in longer wake times. However, there is conflicting data (Landström et al, 2000; Lindseth et al, 2013; Nehme et al, 2014; Rontoyanni, Baic, & Cooper, 2007; Voderholzer et al, 1998; Weiss et al, 2010). …”

This study examined the effects of macronutrient diets on sleep quantity and quality. Using a repeated-measures, randomized crossover study design, 36 young adults served as their own control, and consumed high protein, carbohydrate, fat, and control diets. Treatment orders were counterbalanced across the dietary groups. Following consumption of the study diets, sleep measures were examined for within-subject differences. Fatty acid intakes and serum lipids were further analyzed for differences. Sleep actigraphs indicated wake times and wake minutes (after sleep onset) were significantly different when comparing consumption of macronutrient diets and a control diet. Post hoc testing indicated high carbohydrate intakes were associated with significantly shorter (p < .001) wake times. Also, the Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index© post hoc results indicated high fat intake was associated with significantly better (p < .05) sleep in comparison with the other diets. These results highlight the effects that dietary manipulations may have on sleep.

“…Most studies have assessed sleep duration through questionnaires (i.e., self-reported sleep duration). Collectively, the studies on self-reported sleep duration and obesity do not show a clear pattern of association with some showing a negative linear relationship (i.e., short sleep duration associated with obesity) [6,[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31], some showing a U-shaped relationship (i.e., both short and long sleep duration associated with obesity) [17,26,[32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39], some showing no relationship [40][41][42], and some showing different results for men and women [43][44][45][46][47] or for different age groups within the study where a relationship is seen in younger adults but not in older [4,5,48,49] (Table 1).…”

Collectively, cross-sectional and longitudinal studies on self-reported sleep duration and obesity do not show a clear pattern of association with some showing a negative linear relationship, some showing a U-shaped relationship, and some showing no relationship. Associations between sleep duration and obesity seem stronger in younger adults. Cross-sectional studies using objectively measured sleep duration (actigraphy or polysomnography (PSG)) also show this mixed pattern whereas all longitudinal studies to date using actigraphy or PSG have failed to show a relationship with obesity/weight gain. It is still too early and a too easy solution to suggest that changing the sleep duration will cure the obesity epidemic. Given novel results on emotional stress and poor sleep as mediating factors in the relationship between sleep duration and obesity, detection and management of these should become the target of future clinical efforts as well as future research.
