Sleep quality and obesity in young subjects: a meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Poor sleep quality seems to be associated with Ow/Ob, and some studies indicate this association to be independent of duration. Therefore, considering only sleep duration might not help in disentangling sleep-obesity association. However, this review is mostly composed of cross-sectional studies. Therefore, a causal link or the stability of the sleep quality and Ow/Ob association could not be established. PMID: 27417913 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
