One third of U.S. adults report short sleep (<7 h), which has been linked to negative health outcomes. Inadequate intake of micronutrients across the U.S. adult population has been reported, and a relationship between sleep conditions and micronutrient intake is emerging. This cross-sectional analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES 2005–2016) (n = 26,211) showed that participants with short sleep duration had a lower usual intake (Food + Supplements) of calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D in all adults aged 19+ years, and vitamin K in adults aged 19–50 years, even after adjusting for covariates. In addition, participants reporting short sleep had a higher percentage of individuals with intake lower than the estimated average requirement (EAR) across multiple nutrients. Age and gender differences were observed in the prevalence of inadequate intake across multiple nutrients. Adults aged 51–99 years with short sleep duration had inadequate intake with respect to more nutrients. In females there was an association between short sleep and a higher prevalence of inadequate intake (Food + Spp) for calcium, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, D, E, and K (above adequate intake). Conversely, males reporting short sleep only had an inadequate intake of vitamin D. Overall, we demonstrate that short sleep is associated with increased nutrient inadequacy, emphasizing the possible need for dietary supplementation.

The main purpose of the study was to explore the associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with physical activity (PA). In this cross-sectional study, participants were 894 elderly individuals (mean age 80 ± 3 years; 56.0% women) living in nursing homes. PA, sleep duration, and sleep quality (based on the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)) were self-reported. The associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with PA at the nursing home level were analyzed using generalized estimating equations with clustering. Participants reporting short sleep duration (<6 h; OR = 0.45; 95% CI 0.25–0.80) were less likely to report sufficient PA, yet those reporting long sleep duration (>9 h; OR = 2.61; 95% CI 1.35–5.02) and good sleep quality (<5 points; OR = 1.59; 95% CI 1.19–2.12) were more likely to report sufficient PA. When sleep duration and sleep quality were entered into the same model, the same associations remained. This study shows that elderly individuals who report short sleep duration are less likely to meet PA guidelines, while those who report long sleep duration and good sleep quality are more likely to meet PA guidelines. Strategies aiming to improve sleep duration and sleep quality are warranted.

Objectives We aimed to investigate whether sleep duration is associated with self-reported overall health, screen time, and nighttime texting among Swedish adolescents. Methods This was a cross-sectional survey of students (n = 1518) aged 13 to 15 years (50.7% girls) in southern Sweden. Results Fewer than 8 hours sleep duration before a school day was reported by 31% of students. The median time spent watching television and/or at the computer was 3 hours, and 43% of students reported texting at night one or more times per week. Sleeping fewer than 8 hours was significantly associated with poorer self-reported overall health, often being tired at school, increased screen time, and a habit of nighttime texting. Conclusions Short sleep duration (<8 hours) was associated with poor self-reported health, increased screen time, and nighttime texting among respondents. These results provide information for parents, educators, and school health professionals to encourage young people to adopt healthy screen habits and sleep hygiene.

Evidence has grown supporting the role for short sleep duration as an independent risk factor for weight gain and obesity. The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between sleep duration and dietary quality in European adolescents. The sample consisted of 1522 adolescents (aged 12·5–17·5 years) participating in the European multi-centre cross-sectional ‘Healthy Lifestyle in Europe by Nutrition in Adolescence’ study. Sleep duration was estimated by a self-reported questionnaire. Dietary intake was assessed by two 24 h recalls. The Diet Quality Index for Adolescents with Meal index (DQI-AM) was used to calculate overall dietary quality, considering the components dietary equilibrium, dietary diversity, dietary quality and a meal index. An average sleep duration of ≥ 9 h was classified as optimal, between 8 and 9 h as borderline insufficient and < 8 h as insufficient. Sleep duration and the DQI-AM score were positively associated (β = 0·027, r 0·130, P< 0·001). Adolescents with insufficient (62·05 (sd 14·18)) and borderline insufficient sleep (64·25 (sd 12·87)) scored lower on the DQI-AM than adolescents with an optimal sleep duration (64·57 (sd 12·39)) (P< 0·001; P= 0·018). The present study demonstrated in European adolescents that short sleep duration was associated with a lower dietary quality. This supports the hypothesis that the health consequences of insufficient sleep may be mediated by the relationship of insufficient sleep to poor dietary quality.

IntroductionCardiovascular disease is the leading cause of on-duty fatalities among U.S. firefighters. Research has demonstrated that many modifiable risk factors are contributors to the high prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors. The current study aimed to assess whether sleep is associated with cardiometabolic risk factors among Indianapolis firefighters. The findings could support improving sleep hygiene in this population.Material and MethodsThis cross-sectional study was conducted from the baseline data of eligible firefighters enrolled in “Feeding America’s Bravest”, a Mediterranean diet lifestyle intervention within the Indiana Fire Departments. Participants’ sleep quality was categorized as “good” (≤ 8 points) or “bad” (&gt;8 points) by a sleep quality questionnaire based on some questions from Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. In addition, firefighters’ sleep duration was stratified based on the number of hours slept per night (≤6 as “short sleep” or &gt;6 hours as normal). Linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the association of sleep with cardiometabolic risk factors.ResultsA total of 258 firefighters were included. Bad sleepers had higher weight, greater waist circumference, higher body mass index (BMI), and increased body fat (all p&lt;0.01) compared to good sleepers. Similarly, participants with short sleep duration were heavier (p&lt;0.02), had greater BMI (p&lt;0.02) and increased body fat (p&lt;0.04) compared with participants with normal sleep duration. Both bad and short sleepers had a higher prevalence of hypertension and obesity (p &lt;0.05).ConclusionsOur study supports that both sleep quality and quantity are associated with cardiometabolic risk among firefighters.

Abstract: Obesity is defined as an abnormal accumulation of body fat in proportion to body size. Obesity is a public health crisis that is very substantial. The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly in many industrialized countries around the world and become a pandemic that needs immediate attention. Cause of obesity is more complex than the simple paradigm of energy imbalance, but various mechanisms contribute to obesity, including short sleep duration. The purpose of this study was to describe sleep duration and overweight adolescents and to determine the relationship of sleep duration and overweight. This research is an analytic survey with cross sectional study. Study was conducted in junior and senior high school Pax Christi and Rex Mundi Manado, obtained 32 samples of survey respondents with a body mass index above 23.0. Characteristics of the respondents, namely: Age between 14-16 years ever with 15 people (46.9%); Body mass index between 23 to 29.9 were 19 respondents (59.3%); Age at the start of fat, between the ages of 11-15 years as many as 20 people (62.5%); Data diet, greasy 15 respondents (46.9%); Data bedtime, sleep 5-7 hours a night, 21 respondents (65.6%), length of time between the 30 minute nap - 1 hour and between 1 – 2 hours have 13 respondents (40.6%) each. Based on the results of the study, short sleep pattern at night is associated with obesity among (teenage students) of the respondents. Increase and decrease grehlin / leptin, plays a role in relation to the increase in sleep patterns diets ultimately cause obesity. Keywords: Obesity, short sleep patterns, grehlin, leptin, increased appetite.Abstrak: Obesitas didefinisikan sebagai akumulasi abnormal dari lemak tubuh dibandingkan dengan ukuran tubuh normal. Obesitas merupakan krisis kesehatan masyarakat yang sangat substansial. Prevalensi obesitas meningkat dengan cepat di sejumlah negara industri di seluruh dunia dan menjadi pandemik yang memerlukan perhatian segera. Penyebab obesitas lebih kompleks daripada paradigma sederhana ketidakseimbangan energi, namun berbagai mekanisme turut berperan didalamnya, termasuk durasi tidur yang singkat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan dan untuk mengetahui hubungan durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan. Penelitian ini bersifat survey analitik dengan study cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di SMP Pax Christi dan SMA Rex Mundi Manado, diperoleh 32 sampel responden penelitian dengan indeks massa tubuh diatas 23,0. Karakteristik responden yaitu: Umur terbanyak antara 14-16 tahun yaitu 15 orang (46,9 %); Indeks massa tubuh antara 23-29,9 sebanyak 19 responden (59,3 %); Umur saat mulai gemuk, antara umur 11-15 tahun yaitu sebanyak 20 orang (62,5 %); Data pola makan, makanan berminyak 15 responden (46,9 %); Data waktu tidur, tidur malam 5-7 jam, 21 responden (65,6 %); Lama waktu tidur siang antara 30 menit-1 jam dan antara 1-2 jam yaitu masing-masing 13 responden (40,6 %). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian kesimpulannya, pola tidur yang singkat pada malam hari berhubungan dengan peningkatan berat badan dari responden.Peningkatan grehlin dan penurunan leptin, memegang peranan dalam hubungan pola tidur dengan peningkatan pola makan yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan kegemukan.Kata kunci: Obesitas, pola tidur singkat, grehlin, leptin, peningkatan nafsu makan.

Abstract Background Although pain has been identified as an important public health problem among adolescents, few studies have investigated possible protective and risk factors for pain. The main aim of the present study was to investigate associations between prevalence of daily pain, self-efficacy, sleep duration, and symptoms of depression in a representative sample of Norwegian adolescents. Methods A comprehensive cross-sectional survey was completed by 12,867 junior high school students and high school students (response rate: 90%) aged 14–19 years. Logistic regression models were adjusted for age, gender, and parental educational level. Results We found a high prevalence of daily pain among adolescents, especially among girls (19%) compared with boys (7%). Short sleep duration was associated with increased odds ratios (ORs) of pain in the shoulders/neck (OR 1.3; 95% CI 1.3–2.0) and stomach (1.7; 1.2–2.4). Symptoms of depression were associated with increased ORs for all measured types of daily pain, including head (3.7; 3.0–4.6), shoulders/neck (3.9; 3.1–4.8), joints/muscles (4.3; 3.3–5.6), and stomach (5.5; 4.1–7.4). By contrast, self-efficacy was not associated with any form of daily pain. Conclusion Given the burden of pain, high incidence of pain problems, and strong association between pain and depression and, to some degree, short sleep duration, co-occurring symptoms may be an important area for research in the public health field. The results highlight the importance of early identification and prevention. Longitudinal studies are needed to understand better pain problems and their underlying mechanisms with the aim of developing targeted interventions.
