Longer sleep duration during infancy and toddlerhood predicts weight normalization among high birth weight infants.

ABSTRACT:

Study objectives

High birth weight (HBW; ? 4000 g) is strongly associated with later overweight, yet little is known about how to disrupt this trajectory. The current study examined sleep practices during infancy and toddlerhood among children born HBW or normal birth weight (NBW; 2500-3999 g).

Methods

Latent growth curve models were used to examine sleep during infancy and toddlerhood among 270 mother-child dyads enrolled in the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment Study. Total sleep duration in 24 hr, sleep maintenance, and restlessness/vocalizations were collected at 6 month intervals between ages 6 and 24 months. Height and weight were obtained at ages 24 or 36 months, and normal and overweight BMI were derived. Sleep was examined among children with a normal BMI during the preschool years who were either HBW (HBW-Normal, n = 36) or NBW (NBW-Normal, n = 184) compared with overweight preschoolers (Overweight, n = 50). It was predicted that the Overweight group would have poorer sleep across infancy and toddlerhood compared with HBW-Normal and NBW-Normal.

Results

HBW-Normal had the longest and Overweight had the shortest mean 24 hr sleep duration across all time points with NBW-Normal falling in-between the two groups. Compared with Overweight, HBW-Normal exhibited longer 24 hr sleep duration at age 6 months with this group difference maintained over infancy and toddlerhood. No group difference was found for NBW-Normal.

Conclusions

A longer sleep duration in the first several years of life is associated with development of normal BMI among HBW children. These findings suggest that longer sleep duration may protect HBW children from becoming overweight.

Project description:BackgroundObservational studies evaluating the link between sleep duration and kidney function reported controversial results. In the present study, Mendelian randomization analysis was applied to obtain unconfounded estimates of the casual association of genetically determined sleep duration with estimated glomerular filtration rate and the risk of chronic kidney disease.MethodsData from the largest genome-wide association studies on self-reported and accelerometer-derived sleep duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate and chronic kidney disease were analysed in total, as well as separately in diabetic and non-diabetic individuals. Inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, weighted median-based method, MR-Egger and MR-Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier (MR-PRESSO) were applied, as well as the leave-one-out method to rule out the impact of single single-nucleotide polymorphism.ResultsIndividuals with genetically longer self-reported sleep duration had a higher chronic kidney disease risk (IVW: β = 0.358, p = 0.047). Furthermore, in non-diabetics, longer self-reported sleep duration was negatively associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (IVW: β = - 0.024, p = 0.020). Similarly, accelerometer-derived sleep duration was negatively related to estimated glomerular filtration rate in the total population (IVW: β = - 0.019, p = 0.047) and then on-diabetic individuals. No significant association was found between self-reported sleep duration and estimated glomerular filtration rate in the whole population and type-2 diabetes mellitus patients. None of the estimated associations was subjected to a significant level of heterogeneity. MR-PRESSO analysis did not show any chance of outliers for all estimates. The pleiotropy test also indicated low chance of pleiotropy. The leave-one-out method demonstrated that the links were not driven by single-nucleotide polymorphisms.ConclusionsFor the first time, the present study shed a light on the potential harmful effects of longer sleep duration (measured both objectively and subjectively) on kidney function. This finding was observed in the total population and in non-diabetic individuals, but not in those with diabetes. Further research is needed to elucidate the links between sleep duration, estimated glomerular filtration rate and the risk of chronic kidney disease.

Project description:BackgroundThe adequate maternal sleep duration required for favorable obstetric outcomes is unknown. We evaluated the association between maternal sleep duration and low birth weight infants, small for gestational age infants, and macrosomia.MethodsParticipants enrolled in the Japan Environment and Children's Study, a nationwide birth cohort study, with singleton pregnancies after 22 weeks, who gave birth between 2011 and 2014 were enrolled and categorized into five groups according to maternal sleep duration during pregnancy: < 6.0 h, 6.0-7.9 h, 8.0-8.9 h, 9.0-9.9 h, and 10.0-12.0 h. We evaluated the association between maternal sleep duration and the incidence of low birth weight infants (< 2500 g), very low birth weight infants (< 1500 g), small for gestational age infants, and macrosomia (> 4000 g), with women with maternal sleep duration of 6.0-7.9 h as the reference, using a multiple logistic regression model.ResultsIn total, 82,171 participants were analyzed. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for low birth weight infants in women with maternal sleep duration of 9.0-9.9 h and 10.0-12.0 h and for small for gestational age infants in women with maternal sleep duration of 9.0-9.9 h were 0.90 (0.83-0.99), 0.86 (0.76-0.99), and 0.91 (0.82-0.99), respectively, before adjusting for excessive gestational weight gain. No significant association was observed between maternal sleep duration and these outcomes after adjusting for excessive gestational weight gain. Among women with appropriate gestational weight gain, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for low birth weight infants and for small for gestational age infants with sleep duration of 9.0-9.9 h were 0.88 (0.80-0.97) and 0.87 (0.78-0.97), respectively.ConclusionsMaternal sleep duration of 9.0-9.9 h was significantly associated with the decreased incidence of low birth weight infants and small for gestational age infants in pregnant women with appropriate gestational weight gain, compared with that of 6.0-7.9 h. Care providers should provide proper counseling regarding the association between maternal sleep duration and neonatal birth weight and suggest comprehensive maternal lifestyle modifications to prevent low birth weight and small for gestational age infants.
