Journal Title: Toxicology Communications - Year 2021, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: To determine the associations between sleep duration and overweight/obesity in Chinese children and adolescents. Methods: This longitudinal study analyzed 3,126 children and adolescents aged 7 to 18 years who had participated in the China Health and Nutrition Survey during 2004–2011. Sleep duration was classified into < 9 h, 9–10 h, and > 10 h for children aged 7–12 years, and < 8 h, 8–9 h, and > 9 h for adolescents aged 13–18 years. Results: After adjusting for confounder, short sleep duration was associated with overweight/obesity for girls aged 7–12 years (β = 4.32, 95% confidence interval = 1.27 to 7.37, P = 0.006) and boys aged 13–18 years (β = 3.38, 95% confidence interval = 2.01 to 4.74, P < 0.001). No statistically significant association was found among the other 2 groups. Meanwhile, long sleep duration was not statistically significant at any age.
