Background Females are more prone to complain about sleep problems. Poor sleep quality in this group may make them more vulnerable to suffering obesity and other diseases, which can seriously affect their fitness and quality of life. Nevertheless, the connections between sleep quality and central obesity among reproductive-aged women are not clear. The aims of this study were to explore the association between sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and central obesity among Chinese reproductive-aged women and to identify the independent contributions of sociodemographic characteristics, health-related factors, and sleep quality to central obesity. Methods In this cross-sectional survey, 2449 Chinese reproductive-aged women aged 18-49 years were studied. Sleep quality was assessed using the Chinese version of the PSQI. Central obesity as the outcome of interest was a binary variable; women were categorized as with versus without central obesity. Clustered logistic regression was used to analyze the independent contribution of sleep quality to central obesity.Results The risk of central obesity increased significantly with poor sleep quality (assessed by global PSQI score) (adjusted OR(Odds Ratio)=2.20 per SD increase; P=0.004), increased sleep disturbance score (adjusted OR=1.11 per SD increase; P=0.042) and decreased subjective sleep quality score (adjusted OR=0.81 per SD increase; P<0.001). The independent contribution of sleep quality was 9.9%, less than those of sociodemographic (73.3%) and health-related (16.8%) variables. Among complaints related to sleep disturbance, the inability to breathe comfortably and having bad dreams showed significant associations with central obesity. Conclusions There exists some degree of correlation between sleep quality and central obesity amongChinese reproductive-aged women. Understanding this link has public health relevance because of the important role sleep plays in health. It also has some implications for the discovery of novel strategies to prevent central obesity and the implementation of weight maintenance programs in this population group.

“…Also, an association was observed between the presence of sleep disorders and clinical outcomes such as depression, burnout, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)26) In the other study, the clinical and polysomnography data of 761 military officers were evaluated retrospectively, showing a high prevalence of OSAS (27.2%), insomnia (24.7%) and insufficient sleep time (41.8%). (14,27) The main predictors of OSAS were obesity, male gender and age.…”

“…Sleep disorders were associated with metabolic syndrome and abdominal obesity. Police officers who slept less than 5 h were more likely to suffer from abdominal obesity than those who slept 7-7.9 h. (16) OSAS, the sleep disorder most frequently diagnosed in police officers, has been involved as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cardiac arrhythmias, plurimetabolic syndrome, traffic accidents and death. (17,18,25) OSAS has also been associated with significant cognitive decline and difficulty to maintain vigilance and attention during work.…”

Objective: Study sleep disorders in a Group of Elite Military Police Offi cers. Method: Cross-sectional study in which 22 elite military police offi cers from the Brigada Militar were assessed, corresponding to the total operational headcount of the group studied. Results: There were four main fi ndings in this study. First, a high prevalence of sleep disorders was observed (100% presented some sleeprelated disorder or complaint) and bad sleep quality (63.6%) among these offi cers. Second, a high prevalence (27.3%) of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was observed among the police offi cers studied, who presented greater daytime sleepiness. Third, among the police offi cers who presented some occupational accident, a higher prevalence of daytime sleepiness, bad sleep quality and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was found. Fourth, offi cers with a bad quality of sleep presented worse quality of life scores. Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of sleep disorders among military police offi cers and the different consequences resulting from a bad quality of sleep, sleep-related questions, questionnaires to screen for sleep disorders and, depending on the case, polysomnography should be included in the routine health evaluation of Elite Military Police Offi cers. ResumoObjetivo: Estudar os distúrbios do sono em um Grupo de Policiais Militares de Elite. Método: Estudo transversal, que avaliou 22 policiais militares de elite da Brigada Militar, o que corresponde a totalidade do efetivo operacional do grupo estudado. Resultados: Os principais achados deste estudo foram quatro. Primeiro, observou-se uma elevada prevalência de distúrbios do sono (100% apresentaram algum distúrbio ou queixa relacionada ao sono) e de má qualidade de sono (63,6%) entre esses policiais. Segundo, observou-se uma elevada prevalência (27,3%) de síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono entre os policiais estudados sendo que estes apresentaram maior sonolência diurna. Terceiro, dentre os policiais que apresentaram algum acidente de trabalho constatou-se uma maior prevalência de sonolência diurna, de má qualidade do sono e de síndrome da apneia obstrutiva do sono. Quarto, policiais com má qualidade de sono apresentaram piores escores de qualidade de vida. Conclusão: Considerando-se a elevada prevalência de distúrbios do sono entre os policiais militares e as diversas consequências advindas de um sono de má qualidade, sugere-se a inclusão de questões relacionadas ao sono, de questionários de triagem para distúrbios do sono e dependendo do caso, do exame de polissonografi a, dentro da inspeção bienal de saúde dos Policiais Militares de Elite.

“…According to metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria, abnormalities of health check-up results were marked if the subjects had any of the following risk determinants [14]: -central obesity -waist circumference ≥ 90 cm in men and ≥ 80 cm in women; -elevated blood pressure -systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥ 130 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥ 85 mm Hg; -hyperglycemia -fasting sugar ≥ 100 mg/dl; -hypertriglyceridemia -triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dl; -hypo-HDL cholesterolemia -HDL < 40 mg/dl in men and < 50 mg/dl in women. Although NSW were the youngest among all 3 subgroups, they had significantly higher rates for metabolic abnormalities than the daytime workers (CDW and DSW) did.…”

Objectives: To evaluate the association between night-shift work exposure and visual health, this cross-sectional study utilized visual acuity, a surrogate measure for visual function, as a parameter, and performed an analysis comparing visual acuity between daytime and nighttime employees in an electronics manufacturing company. Material and Methods: Data of personal histories, occupational records, physical examinations and blood tests was obtained from the electronic health records of workers. The total of 8280 workers including 3098 women and 5182 men, wearing their own daily used eyeglasses, were included in the final analysis. The mean age of the sample population was 34.7 years old (standard deviation = 5.4 years). All workers were divided into 3 work categories -consistent daytime worker (CDW), day-shift worker (DSW) and night-shift worker (NSW). The check-up results of glasses-corrected visual acuity (c-VA) were utilized to classify individuals as good (≥ 1.2, both eyes) and inadequate (< 0.8, the better eye) c-VA. Results: Consistent daytime workers had the highest rate of good c-VA (42.5% vs. 25.1% DSW and 21.1% NSW, p = 0.047). Night-shift workers had the highest rate of inadequate c-VA (CDW, DSW and NSW: 2.6%, 6.2%, and 7.6%, p = 0.03) among all employees. After controlling for covariates, NSW were found at an increased risk for inadequate c-VA (adjusted odds ratio (OR a ) = 2.7, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.0-3.6, vs. CDW), and less likely to have good c-VA (OR a = 0.4, 95% CI: 0.4-0.5, vs. CDW). Conclusions: Night-shift work is moderately associated with compromised visual acuity of employees in this electronics manufacturing company. Int J Occup Med Environ Health 2018;31(1):71 -79
