Overview

Cross-sectional analysis shows sleep quality influences waist circumference in young adults, indicating health risks.

Key Points

  • Sleep quality significantly predicts waist circumference, with poorer quality linked to increased central adiposity.
  • Multiple linear regression analysis indicated a significant association between sleep quality and waist circumference (p=0.026).
  • A total of 277 undergraduate students were recruited for this cross-sectional study from Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Malaysia.
  • Findings suggest promoting better sleep could mitigate weight-related risks among young adults.
