“…A second systematic review indicated that inadequate sleep measured as short duration and/or poor quality was linked to higher odds of obesity cross-sectionally. 23 The role of sleep quality, problems, and patterns and its relationship with children's health warrants further research. 22 Further, there may be interactions between sleep, screen-time, and physical activity.…”

Background The purpose was to evaluate the relationship between adherence to pediatric 24-hour movement guidelines (moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary behavior and sleep) and cardiometabolic risk factors. Methods The sample included 357 white and African American children aged 5-18 years. Physical activity, TV viewing and sleep duration were measured using questionnaires, and the 24-hour guidelines were defined as: ≥60 min/day of MVPA on ≥5 days/week, ≤2 h/day of TV, and sleeping 9-11 h/night (ages 5-13 y) or 8-10 h/night (ages 14-18 y). Waist circumference, body fat, abdominal visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), blood pressure and fasting triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol and glucose were measured in a clinical setting. Results A total of 26.9% of the sample met none of the guidelines, whereas 36.4%, 28.3% and 8.4% of the sample met 1, 2 or all 3 guidelines, respectively. There were significant associations between the number of guidelines met and BMI, SAT, VAT, triglycerides, and glucose. There were no associations with blood pressure or HDL-cholesterol. Conclusions Meeting more components of the 24-hour guidelines was associated with lower levels of obesity and several cardiometabolic risk factors. Future efforts should consider novel strategies to simultaneously improve physical activity, sedentary time and sleep in children.

“…There is evidence that “diet-induced body-weight loss and successive body-weight maintenance contribute to sleep improvement” [6]. A recent study [7] investigated whether “enhancing children’s sleep may show promise in assisting with weight regulation.” Various reviews of cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have found evidence that short sleep duration and poor sleep quality are associated with general obesity and central obesity [8,9,10,11]. …”

Obesity and its comorbidities have emerged as a leading public health concern. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and sleep patterns, including duration and disturbances. A cross-sectional questionnaire survey and anthropometric measurements were conducted with undergraduate university students that were randomly recruited in 26 universities in 24 low- and middle-income and two high-income countries. The sample included 18,211 (42.1% male and 57.9% female, mean age 21.0 in male and 20.7 years in female students) undergraduate university students. The overall BMI was a mean of 22.5 kg/m2 for men and 22.0 kg/m2 for women, and the mean WC was 78.4 cm for men and 73.8 cm for women. More than 39% of the students reported short sleep duration (≤6 h/day) and over 30% reported moderate to extreme sleep problems. In a linear multivariable regression, adjusted for sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, short sleep duration was positively associated with BMI in both men and women, and was positively associated with WC among women but not among men. Sleep quality or problems among men were not associated with BMI, while among women mild sleep problems were inversely associated with BMI, and poor sleep quality or problems were positively associated with WC both among men and women. The study confirmed an association between short sleep duration and increased BMI and, among women, increased WC, and an association between poor sleep quality and increased WC but not BMI. Further, differences in the association between sleep characteristics and BMI and WC were found by region and country income.

“…As described in the introduction, recent reviews have concluded that short sleep duration and poor sleep quality seems associated with childhood overweight and obesity [2,3]. However, so far only few studies have intervened on child sleep habits in relation to risk of obesity development [28,29,30], leaving rather little experience and inspiration from previous studies when designing a new intervention.…”

“…One alternate modifiable factor that has been found to lead to child overweight is sleep. In this regard, two recent meta-analyses have provided evidence that both short sleep duration and poor sleep quality seem associated with overweight in children and adolescents [2,3]. Poor sleep in toddlers and primary school children can impact child growth, and thereby later risk of obesity, via increased cortisol and decreased melatonin levels [4].…”

Joining Parents' Bed at Night and Overweight among 2- to 6-Year-Old Children - Results from the ‘Healthy Start' Randomized Intervention

Objective: Parental and child co-sleeping has been suggested as a risk factor for short sleep duration and poor sleep quality that may lead to overweight. We examined if joining parent's bed during night was associated with child overweight. Methods: Cross-sectional data from the ‘Healthy Start' study including 635 2- to 6-year-old Danish children, who were all considered obesity prone. Of these, 496 children had complete information on BMI and whether the child joined parents' bed during night and if so, how frequently. International cut-offs for overweight according to age and gender were applied, and logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Intervals (CI). Analyses were adjusted for the child's age and gender, overall family stress, parental educational level, and parental BMI. Results: Children who did not join their parent's bed were more likely to be overweight compared to children who did (OR 1.75 (95% CI 0.99-3.10)). Children who rarely joined their parents' bed had OR 2.74 of being overweight (95% CI 1.01-7.44) compared to children who joined every night. Conclusion: Children who rarely joined parents' bed during night were almost three times more likely to be overweight than those who joined every night.
