“…Our metaanalysis did not show the classic U-shaped association between sleep duration and MetS. Several studies have reported a U-shaped association between sleep duration and various medical comorbidities, such as hypertension (45), coronary vascular disease (12), and even mortality (14). However, the data on the U-shaped association between MetS and sleep duration have been rather conflicting.…”

“…Short sleep was also associated with being single and long working hours, whilst long sleep was also associated with low physical activity levels, pregnancy and ethnicity. These findings extend on smaller scale and less comprehensive community based studies (Mallon et al, 2002, Heslop et al, 2003, Adams, 2006, Gottlieb et al, 2006, Patel et al, 2006a, Patel et al, 2006b, Steptoe et al, 2006and Stranges et al, 2008 in identifying factors associated with short and long sleep.…”

“…The findings associated with short sleep have important implications for preventive medicine and public health, given that short sleep is associated with cardiovascular disease (Ayas et al, 2003, Gangwisch et al, 2006, Gottlieb et al, 2006and Shankar et al, 2008, depression (Krueger and Friedman, 2009), obesity (Gangwisch et al, 2005, Singh et al, 2005, Patel and Hu, 2008and van den Berg et al, 2008 and elevated mortality. These chronic health conditions could cause short sleep because of discomfort, pain and/or the side effects of medication (Moldofsky, 2001).…”

“…37 Although some research suggests that insomnia does not increase mortality risk, 38 other data indicate that increased frequency of insomnia symptoms is associated with an increased risk for all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events. 39 Frequent diffi culty in initiating and maintaining sleep may be related to increased risk for acute myocardial infarction and coronary cardiovascular disease-related death.…”
