Abstract
Objectives
Examine associations between sleep duration and differences between weekday and weekend
sleep with body mass index and waist circumference in a sample of high-risk Black
women from the SisterTalk II study.
Design
Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from an intervention study targeting dietary
and physical activity behaviors.
Setting
Women were recruited from the Providence, RI, USA, area.
Participants
The sample includes 569 middle-aged Black women who were hypertensive or at risk for
hypertension.
Measurements
Participants self-reported their weekday and weekend sleep duration. Body mass index
(BMI) and waist circumference (WC) were objectively measured. Associations between
the sleep and anthropometric measures were examined using analysis of variance and
multivariable regression models controlling for birthplace, educational attainment,
employment status, and annual household income.
Results
25.5% of the sample were very short sleepers (≤6 hrs), 28.8% short sleepers (≥6 to
<7 hrs), 40.4% recommended sleepers (≥7 to ≤9 hrs), and 5.3% long sleepers (>9 hrs);
70.7% had a consistent sleep duration (≤2-hour difference between weekday and weekend
sleep duration), 21.6% were classified as “weekend snoozers” (>2-hours more sleep on weekends), and 7.7% were classified as “weekend warriors” (>2-hours less sleep on weekends). Compared to recommended sleepers, very short sleepers and long
sleepers had significantly greater BMIs, while long sleepers had significantly larger
WCs. Being a weekend snoozer was also associated with increased BMI and WC.
Conclusions
In this sample of high-risk Black women, sleep duration and differences between weekday
and weekend sleep were independently associated with excess weight and abdominal obesity.
