Abstract
The evidence linking sleep duration and metabolic body size phenotypes is limited, especially in young adulthood. In this study, we aimed to examine the association between sleep duration and metabolic body size phenotypes among Chinese young workers and investigate whether discrepancies exist among shift and non-shift workers. A cross-sectional study was performed between 2018 and 2019 in Wuhan, China and 7,376 young adults aged 20-35 years were included. Self-reported sleep duration was coded into four groups: <7, 7-8, 8-9, and ≥9 h per day. Participants were classified into four metabolic body size phenotypes according to their body mass index and metabolic health status: metabolically healthy normal weight, metabolically unhealthy normal weight, metabolically healthy overweight/obesity (MHO), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO). Multinomial logistic regression models were used to explore the associations between sleep duration and metabolic body phenotypes. Compared with those who slept 7-8 h each night, those with sleep duration <7 h per day had higher odds of MHO (OR 1.27, 95% CI: 1.02-1.56) and MUO (OR 1.22, 95% CI: 1.03-1.43), irrespective of multiple confounders. Stratification analyses by shift work showed that the association between short nighttime sleep and increased odds of MUO was only observed in shift workers (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.03-1.54). Sleep duration is independently associated with metabolic body size phenotypes among Chinese young adults, while shift work could possibly modulate the association. These results may provide evidence for advocating adequate sleep toward favorable metabolic body size phenotypes in young workers.

Prevalence and associated factors of metabolic body size phenotype in children and adolescents: A national cross-sectional analysis in China. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:952825. [PMID: 36093090 PMCID: PMC9452664 DOI: 10.3389/fendo.2022.952825] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2022] [Accepted: 08/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) is a group of subjects with overweight/obesity who present a metabolically healthy profile; however, associated factors are complex and are far from completely understood. The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of different metabolic body size phenotypes and investigate the associated factors in Chinese children and adolescents. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted of 12,346 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years from seven provinces in China in 2013. Anthropometric, blood pressure, and biochemical measurements were obtained. A multi-component questionnaire covering demographic, neonatal, and lifestyle characteristics was administered. The classification of metabolic body size phenotype based on three definitions was compared. With metabolically healthy with normal weight (MHNW) as a reference group, logistic regression analyses were used to estimate the potential effects of associated risk factors, with adjustment for age, sex, single-child status, and residence area. RESULTS The prevalence of MHNW, MHO, metabolically unhealthy with normal weight (MUNW), and metabolically unhealthy overweight/obesity (MUO) phenotype was 68.6%, 2.0%, 26.4%, and 3.0%, respectively. There were 39.3% MHO and 60.7% MUO among obese participants and 72.2% MHNW and 27.8% MUNW among those with normal weight. Compared to cardiometabolic risk factor (CMRF) criteria and metabolic syndrome (MetS) component definition, the application of the 2018 consensus-based definition may identify more children with abnormal cardiovascular risks, independent of weight status. Compared to younger children, older-aged adolescents were positively associated with higher risks of MUNW (odds ratio (OR) = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.27-1.50) and MUO (OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.04-1.60), while factors positively associated with MHO were younger age, single-child status, urban residence, high birth weight, prolonged breastfeeding duration, parental overweight/obesity status, long screen time, and less physical activity. CONCLUSION There were still a high proportion of children and adolescents at high cardiometabolic risk in China. Our findings reinforce the need for cardiometabolic risk prevention in children and adolescents irrespective of their weight statuses, such as parental educational programs and healthy lifestyle interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze sex differences in the prevalence of obesity phenotypes and their risk factors among children and adolescents aged 7-18 years in China. METHODS We enrolled 15,114 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years into the final analysis. Obesity phenotypes were classified by body mass index (BMI) and metabolic status as metabolically healthy or unhealthy obesity. In addition, we collected four possible influencing factors on obesity phenotypes through questionnaires, including demographic, parental, early life, and lifestyle indicators. Multinomial logistic regression analysis in a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was selected to estimate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for identifying risk factors and control the cluster effects of schools. More importantly, the interaction terms of sex and each indicator were established to demonstrate the sex differences. RESULTS The prevalence of metabolically healthy obesity (MHO), metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), metabolically healthy overweight and obesity (MHOO), and metabolically unhealthy overweight and obesity (MUOO) were 3.5%, 5.6%, 11.1%, and 13.0% respectively, with higher prevalence in boys (5.3% vs. 1.6%, 7.9% vs. 3.1%, 14.3% vs. 7.7%, 15.6% vs. 10.1%). In addition, younger ages, single children, parental smoking, parental history of diseases (overweight, hypertension, diabetes), caesarean, premature, and delayed delivery time, high birth weight, insufficient sleep time, and excessive screen time were considered as important risk factors of MHO and MUO among children and adolescents (p < 0.05). More notably, boys were at higher risks of MUO when they were single children (boys: OR = 1.56, 95% CI: 1.24-1.96; girls: OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 0.82-1.54), while girls were more sensitive to MUO with parental smoking (girls: OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.02-1.76; boys: OR = 1.16, 95% CI: 0.97-1.39), premature delivery (girls: OR = 3.11, 95% CI: 1.59-6.07; boys: OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 0.67-2.22), high birth weight (girls: OR = 2.45, 95% CI: 1.63-3.69; boys: OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 0.96-1.70), and excessive screen time (girls: OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.06-2.04; boys: OR = 0.97, 95% CI: 0.79-1.20), with significant interaction term for sex difference (pinteraction < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS MHO and MUO are becoming prevalent among Chinese children and adolescents. Significant sex differences in the prevalence of obesity phenotypes as well as their environmental and genetic risk factors suggest it might be necessary to manage obesity phenotypes problems from a sex perspective.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The global incidence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically among children and adolescents over the past decades. Insufficient sleep duration and physical inactivity are known risk factors for overweight and obesity in children. To engage children in a healthier lifestyle knowledge about associations of sleep duration and behavioural aspects in children are vital. Therefore, this study investigated the mentioned associations in German primary school children. METHODS Data of 308 first and second graders (7.1 ± 0.6 years) was used; children's anthropometric data were taken during a school visit. Children's physical activity (PA) and sleep duration were assessed objectively (Actiheart©, CamNtech Ltd., Cambridge, UK); children's daily television time and socio-demographic data were collected via parental questionnaire. Linear mixed-effects regression models as well as logistic regressions were used to determine associations of PA, television viewing, age, gender, BMI z-scores and socio-economic variables on sleep duration. RESULTS In linear regression models young age and not having a migration background were significantly associated with long sleep duration (p < 0.001). In logistic regressions, long night time sleep (≥10:08 h; compared to medium and short sleep duration) was significantly associated with not reaching the PA guideline (OR 0.60 [0.36;0.99]), daily television viewing of less than one hour (OR 0.44 [0.24;0.80]), young age (OR 0.38 [0.21;067]), a high parental education level (OR 0.52 [0.27;0.99]) and the lack of migration background (OR 0.21 [0.10;0.48]). However, if controlling for age, gender, parental education level and migration background, reaching the PA guideline stayed no longer significantly associated with a tertiary sleep level. CONCLUSIONS Children in the highest sleep category showed a negative association with reaching the PA guideline and a positive association with daily television viewing. This therefore adds to previously primarily subjectively assessed associations of sleep and risk factors for obesity (related behaviours) with a detailed insight based on objective data. Hence, interventions trying to decrease children's BMI and television viewing should also aim at extending children's night-time sleep and inform parents about the importance of sufficient sleep during childhood.

Abstract
Children with "metabolically healthy obesity" (MHO) are a distinct subgroup of youth with obesity, who are less prone to the clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors. Although this phenotype, frequently defined by the absence of metabolic syndrome components or insulin resistance, was first described during the early 1980s, a consensus-based definition of pediatric MHO was introduced only recently, in 2018. The purpose of this review was to concisely summarize current knowledge regarding the MHO phenomenon in youth. The prevalence of MHO in children varies from 3 to 87%, depending on the definition used and the parameters evaluated, as well as the ethnicity and the pubertal status of the sample. The most consistent predictors of MHO in youth include younger age, lower body mass index, lower waist circumference, and lower body fat measurements. Various hypotheses have been proposed to elucidate the underlying factors maintaining the favorable MHO phenotype. While preserved insulin sensitivity and lack of inflammation were previously considered to be the main etiological factors, the most recent findings have implicated adipokine levels, the number of inflammatory immune cells in the adipose tissue, and the reduction of visceral adiposity due to adipose tissue expandability. Physical activity and genetic factors also contribute to the MHO phenotype. Obesity constitutes a continuum-increased risk for cardiometabolic complications, which is less evident in children with MHO. However, some findings have highlighted the emergence of hepatic steatosis, increased carotid intima-media thickness and inflammatory biomarkers in the MHO group compared to peers without obesity. Screening should be directed at those more likely to develop clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors. Lifestyle modifications should include behavioral changes focusing on sleep duration, screen time, diet, physical activity, and tobacco smoke exposure. Weight loss has also been associated with the improvement of insulin sensitivity and inflammation. Further investigative efforts are needed in order to elucidate the mechanisms which protect against the clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors in pediatric obesity, to provide more efficient, targeted treatment approaches for children with obesity, and to identify the protective factors preserving the MHO profile, avoiding the crossover of MHO to the phenotype with metabolically unhealthy obesity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship between sleep duration and overweight risk remains unexplored among Chinese children. This study aims to evaluate this association in a national investigation with school-aged population. METHODS There were 18,302 normal weight children in this Chinese national study which conducted during 2013-2014 included in the research. Anthropometric measurements were performed both at baseline and after 6-9 month. Sleep duration, physical activity, food intake and social economic information were collected by self-report questionnaire. Overweight was defined according to the updated Chinese criterion. Cox regression was used to evaluate the relationships between sleep duration and overweight incidence with multivariable adjusted. RESULTS In total, there were 443 new overweight cases recorded at the end of observation. Overweight incidence with greater than 9 h (long sleep duration, LSD), 7 to 9 h (middle sleep duration, MSD), and less than 7 h of sleep (short sleep duration, SSD) were 2.7, 3.1 and 3.3% respectively. Stratified by gender and compared with LSD, the hazard ratio (HR) of overweight for females with MSD was 1.60 (95% CI: 1.02-2.52). Stratified by age and gender, the HR in the group of MSD was 2.13 (1.20-3.77) in female aged 6-10 years and 0.24 (0.06-0.93) in female aged 15-17 years. CONCLUSION The association between short sleep duration and overweight is age- and gender dependent. In group of small age and elder age, girls' adiposity states are independently associated with sleep duration. Sleep recommendation is a potential preventive action for overweight/obesity among girls.

The Relationship between Sleep Time and Mental Health Problems According to the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire in Children after an Earthquake Disaster: The Fukushima Health Management Survey. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2018; 15:ijerph15040633. [PMID: 29601489 PMCID: PMC5923675 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph15040633] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2018] [Revised: 03/18/2018] [Accepted: 03/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
A cross-sectional study was performed on the adverse effects of sleep time on the mental health of children after the Great East Japan Earthquake and subsequent nuclear reactor accident in March 2011. The target participants were children aged 4–15 years living inside the government-designated evacuation zone as of 11 March 2011 (n = 29,585). The participants’ parents/guardians completed the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) and sleep time data were obtained from the 2011 Fukushima Health Management Survey. A total of 18,745 valid responses were returned. We excluded questionnaires with incomplete answers leaving 13,272 responses for the final analysis. First, we divided the children into three age groups for analysis. Second, we divided each age group into four or five groups based on sleep time per day. We used SDQ scores ≥16 to indicate a high risk of mental health problems. In the 4–6-year-old group, those with a sleep time of <9 h had a higher risk. In the 7–12-year-old group, those with ≥10 h of sleep time had a higher risk. In the 13–15-year-old group, those with ≥9 h of sleep time had a higher risk. Shorter sleep time was associated with a higher risk of mental health in 4–6-year-olds. On the other hand, oversleeping was associated with a high risk of mental health in 7–15-year-olds.
