“…41,42,61 Some more recent studies showed that lack of high-quality sleep is related to higher weight indices. [107][108][109] This finding is consistent with relatively recent evidence that shows that short sleep duration has a direct effect and an indirect effect (via behaviour) on weight. 107 Short sleep duration is related to metabolic changes leading to weight gain (direct effect) and to behavioural changes such as higher caloric food intake and less PA (indirect effect).…”

Overweight and obesity among adults in the Gulf States: A systematic literature review of correlates of weight, weight‐related behaviours, and interventions

SummaryObesity has increased to an epidemic level in the Gulf States. This systematic review is the first to explore the scientific evidence on correlates and interventions for overweight (body mass index [BMI] ≥ 25) or weight‐related behaviours in the region. A systematic search of peer‐reviewed articles was conducted using PubMed and PsycINFO. Ninety‐one studies were eligible for this review including 84 correlate studies and seven intervention studies. Correlate studies of overweight focused on sociodemographic factors, physical activity, and dietary habits. Low physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and unhealthy dietary habits were associated with overweight. The most‐reported sociodemographic correlates of overweight were increased age, being married, low education, urban residence, and unemployment. Correlate studies of physical activity and dietary behaviours mostly focused on sociodemographic variables. Being female and increased age (the latter less consistently) were associated with low physical activity. Interventions were very heterogeneous with respect to the target group, intensity, and behavioural strategies used. The effectiveness of interventions was difficult to evaluate because of the chosen study design or outcome measure, the small sample size, or high attrition rate. Few studies have investigated sociocognitive and environmental determinants of weight‐related behaviours. Such information is crucial to developing health promotion initiatives that target those weight‐related behaviours.

SummaryObjectiveMulticomponent lifestyle modification interventions designed for gestational and early postnatal periods may be key to preventing obesity in children. The primary objective of the study was to determine if infant growth outcomes differed between treatment arms of an 18‐month, maternal, infant and early childhood home visiting project.MethodsPregnant women at least 18 years of age, less than 19 weeks pregnant and residing in a lower Mississippi Delta county were recruited between March 2013 and December 2014. Postnatal data were collected from 24 experimental and 30 control participants between September 2013 and May 2016. Infant growth outcomes were modelled as time‐to‐event data using Kaplan–Meier survival curves with log‐rank tests to determine if survival curves differed between treatment arms.ResultsRetention rates for the experimental and control arms were 88% (21/24) and 83% (25/30), respectively. Approximately three‐fourths of infants in both treatment arms were classified as overweight and experienced rapid weight gain during the first 12 months of life. No differences between median times neither to classification as overweight (3–4 months) nor to experiencing rapid weight gain (6–7 months) were observed between treatment arms.ConclusionsAs compared with a standard educational (control) curriculum, an educational curriculum enhanced with diet and physical activity components was not effective at improving infant growth outcomes.

“…These hormones play a major role in not only maintaining energy balance at cellular levels, but also influence food preference and are associated with increased food intake. For example, prolonged sleep restriction (sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours) has been associated with increased consumption of high calorie impacted food and beverages rich in sugar (30). Furthermore, insufficient sleep, sleep disturbances and lower daytime function can be associated with sleepiness and fatigue, that in turn may lead to reduced physical activity during daytime (31).…”
