- Abstract
Sleep duration improves short-term following bariatric surgery; however, little is known about its association with bodyweight medium- to long-term post-surgery. The purpose of this study was to describe sleep duration and its relationship with BMI and body composition. Forty-nine individuals, with a BMI of 36.6 ± 9.8 kg/m
2 , regained 26.4 ± 17.8% of their lost weight 9.5 ± 3.3 years post-surgery (range 3-16 years). Sleep logs and ActivPAL3 accelerometers were used to assess sleep duration. Participants averaged 7.9 ± 1.6 h/day and 8.5 ± 1.7 h/day of sleep for weekdays and weekends, respectively (P < 0.01). A positive association between delta weekend-weekday sleep timing midpoint with BMI (β = 0.03, 95% CI = 0.01, 0.06; P = 0.01) was noted in the multivariable-adjusted model. On average, this sample achieved recommended sleep durations medium- to long-term post-surgery. Having an earlier sleep timing midpoint during the weekend may be associated with lower BMI.- Published
