The Association Between Sleep Quality and Metabolic Factors and Anthropometric Measurements

Abstract

Background: Several studies have shown that sleep disorders may lead to metabolic or endocrine changes including insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and stroke. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between sleep quality and metabolic factors and anthropometric measurements among personnel of a central petrochemical company in Tehran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 personnel of a central petrochemical company in Tehran, during year 2015. Demographic information including age, gender, educational status, employment duration, working hours per day, marital status, smoking, medical history for disease and drug use, were collected by a questionnaire. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and also height and weight were measured by standard methods and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) was performed to assess participants' sleep quality. Serum concentrations of fasting glucose and lipid profiles were measured by the related biochemical kits. Logistic regression analysis was used for multivariate adjusting of factors associated with sleep quality.

Sleep Quality and Blood Lipid Composition Among Patients with Diabetes

“…In compliance with several studies, sleep quality measures, including sleep disturbance and subjective sleep quality, have been proven to be the predictors of TG and TC in our study (26, 32). In this regard, Ekstedt et al mentioned that greater sleep disturbance was associated with higher levels of TC (38).…”

“…The findings also revealed that the levels of FBS, TC, and TG were higher in patients with poor sleep quality. Similarly, Khorasani et al found that serum levels of TG in patients with poor sleep quality were higher than those with sufficient sleep (26). In the current research, a significant relationship was also found between BMI and low sleep quality; thus the patients with low sleep quality had significantly higher BMI.…”

Obesity, Fasting Blood Sugar, Triglyceride and Physical Activity in Association With Sleep Quality in Iranian Adults in 2019

“…The association between poor sleep quality and increase in FBS and TG level in our study, is consistent with Khorasani et al's study. They found that serum levels of TG in people with poor sleep quality is higher than those with good sleep quality (26). In the current study, nothing was found between sleep quality, total cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, and Insulin.…”

Nutritional Status among Portuguese and Turkish Older Adults Living in the Community: Relationships with Sociodemographic, Health and Anthropometric Characteristics

“…Health-related data were self-reported using a list of diseases and health conditions from which the participant should identify the ones with which they had been diagnosed. Anthropometric measurements were made following the standard methods [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ] and included: weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), calf circumference (CC) and the computation of the body mass index (BMI).…”
