A Review of the Assessment of Sleep, Body Weight Status and Their Relationship in Adults
Main Article Content
Abstract
A lack of sleep is a modifiable risk factor for poor health, such as the risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. This article summarises significant studies that explore the assessment of body weight status and sleep quality and their association. A literature search was conducted in the electronic databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, MEDLINE Complete at EBSCOhost and Scopus. The findings on the association between sleep quality and body weight status were inconsistent. Both short and long sleep duration were associated with obesity status. Overall, a positive relationship between sleep and obesity in adults was observed. Further research on sleep quality and its association with body weight status among adults is needed. Better health is associated with a longer and sufficient duration of sleep. Therefore, it is of great significance to enhance the public’s awareness of their sleep quality on body weight status.
