Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed data from over 4,500 U.S. adults and found that both shorter sleep duration (around 9.7 hours or less) and unhealthy sleep patterns are independently linked to a higher risk of obesity.
  • There is a nonlinear relationship between sleep duration and obesity, meaning that the risk increases notably when sleep duration is below about 9.7 hours, and the risk rises sharply beyond this threshold.
  • Promoting better sleep habits and longer, healthier sleep patterns could be effective strategies in reducing obesity risk among adults.]
