Associations of multiple sleep dimensions with overall and abdominal obesity among children and adolescents: a population-based cross-sectional study
Authors' conclusion
Short or overlong sleep duration, late bedtime and great social jet lag were associated with higher prevalence of overall or abdominal obesity, while moderate midday napping can effectively decrease the risk. Those findings may assist in developing preventive strategies to combat obesity epidemic.
