“…Short sleep durations have been associated with increased prevalence of obesity in Spain, Japan and the U.S. [54][55][56][57]. A French study of adults dichotomized sleep duration and found a slightly but significantly higher mean BMI among women reporting sleeping 6 hours less versus those sleeping more than six hours (24.4 vs. 23.4 kg/m 2 ) after adjustment for age and area of residence, but this difference was not observed among men [58]. Several studies have observed a U-shaped association between sleep duration and body mass index (BMI) [41,59,60], which indicates that both short and long sleep is associated with higher BMI.…”

“…The results obtained by other authors are inconclusive. Most papers showed that associations between sleep duration and BMI are stronger, or occur only in women, not in men [16,17,42,45,46]. St-Onge et al [15] also state that the relationship be- tween self-reported sleep duration and body composition may be stronger in women than in men.…”

“…However, there have been few papers published in which the association between body composition and sleep duration was analysed, and their results are inconclusive [7,15]. Likewise, the influence of gender on the association between sleep duration and the risk of obesity has not been fully explained [7,[16][17][18].…”
