This study aimed to examine the link between short sleep duration and metabolic syndrome.Patients and Methods: We conducted a case-control study using data from Qatar Biobank, with 1000 participants categorized into two groups: less than 7 hours of sleep (n=500) and 7 or more hours of sleep (n=500). Metabolic syndrome was defined using WHO criteria, and logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and gender.Results: There was a higher proportion of individuals with MetS in the short sleep duration group compared to the normal sleep duration group (22.8% vs 15.8%, respectively). The multivariable regression showed that short sleep duration was associated with metabolic syndrome (OR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.14– 3.20, P=0.014) and having 1– 2 components of metabolic syndrome (OR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.14– 3.20, P=0.014), particularly in males (OR: 2.30, 95% CI: 1.07– 4.94, P=0.032). Being overweight (OR 2.17, 95% CI: 1.30– 3.63, P=0.003) was also associated with a shorter sleep duration. BMI was identified as the main contributor to the association between short sleep duration and metabolic syndrome, while diabetes played a minor role.Conclusion: Short sleep duration was associated with metabolic syndrome in Qatar, particularly in males.Keywords: Sleep Duration, Metabolic Syndrome, Metabolic Disorder, Obesity, Qatar Biobank |
