Abstract

Dinner-bedtime interval was reported to be associated with general obesity. However, the association between dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity is still unclear. This study was conducted to investigate the association of dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity. A total of 7600 participants from Henan rural cohort study were included in this study. A standard questionnaire was used to obtain the time of dinner and sleep by the way of face-to-face interview. Sleep quality of each participant was evaluated by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline were used to assess the association between dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity. Line regression was used to estimate the association between dinner-bedtime interval and lipid metabolism indexes. The mediation effect of sleep quality on the relationship between dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity was evaluated. In male, increased dinner-bedtime interval was associated with abdominal obesity risk (Adjusted OR: 1.084, 95% CI 1.009-1.164). Compared with participants with dinner-bedtime interval ≤ 2h, those dinner-bedtime interval > 2h had an elevated risk of abdominal obesity (Adjusted OR: 1.199, 95% CI 1.009-1.425). In addition, a positive linear dose-response relationship was detected between dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity. Moreover, total cholesterol concentration increased by 0.047mmol/L for each 1-h increase in dinner-bedtime interval (P = 0.019). In addition, sleep quality mediated 11.45% of the relationship between dinner-bedtime interval and abdominal obesity (adjusted mediation effect: - 0.010, 95% CI - 0.019 to - 0.003). But in female, these associations were not significant. It is suggested that increased dinner-bedtime interval was related to a higher risk of abdominal obesity in rural China and this association was differed by sex. Level V: cross-sectional descriptive study.
