People who sleep
fewer than 6 hours a night or more than 9 are more likely to obese, according to
study conducted by National Centre Health Statistics.
The study base on surveys
of 87,000 US adults shows a link between irregular sleep and big bellies. About
33 per cent of those who slept less than six hours were obese, 26 per cent
for hose who got nine or more. Normal sleeper were the thinnest group, with
obesity at 22 per cent. The research adds weight to a stream of studies that
have found obesity and other health problems in those who don't get proper shut
eye, said Dr Ron Kramer, a Colorado physician and a spokesman for the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine.
The study also linked light sleepers to less physical activity. In another measure, nearly half of those who slept nine hours or more each night were physically inactive in their leisure time, which was worse even than the lightest sleepers and the proper sleepers. Many of those who sleep nine hours or more may have serious health problem that make exercise difficult. Many elderly people are in the group who get the least sleep, which would help explain why physical activity rates are low.
Other studies have found inadequate sleep is tied to appetite-influencing hormone imbalances and a higher incidence of diabetes and high blood pressure, noted James Gangwisch, a respected Columbia University Sleep researcher.
