A meta-analysis of associations between obesity and insomnia diagnosis and symptoms

Recent research suggests that sleep plays an important role in obesity (OB). No systematic reviews have investigated the association between OB and insomnia specifically. The present study reviewed the past 10  y of findings on the association between insomnia diagnosis (IND) and insomnia symptoms (INS) with OB. A total of 67 studies were included in the meta-analyses. Multilevel random effects models showed that the odds of having OB among those who had IND was not significantly greater than the odds o f having OB among those who did not have IND (odds ratio (OR) = .80, p = .61).
