Sleep duration and body mass index are linked through numerous clinical studies and regression models that identify a significant correlation between sleep patterns and weight outcomes, as evidenced by the findings in [1], [2], [3], and [4]. Furthermore, BMI is frequently utilized as a control variable in research examining the impact of sleep duration on cognitive and physiological health, as seen in [5], [6], [7], and [8].

procedureMultiple regression analysis was used to test the relationship between sleep duration and the Executive Function latent variable while controlling for age, cardiovascular comorbidity, smoking pack years, BMI, genetic risk, and socioeconomic status.
claimThe multiple regression model examining the relationship between sleep duration and Executive Function controlled for age, sleep characteristics (chronotype, insomnia), obstructive sleep apnoea traits (daytime sleepiness, snoring), vascular co-morbidity, smoking, BMI, APOE ε4 genotype, and socioeconomic status.
claimSleeping between six and eight hours remained predictive of higher brain volume in a regression model that controlled for baseline sleep characteristics, obstructive sleep apnoea traits, smoking, vascular co-morbidity, APOE ε status, body mass index, and socio-economic status.
claimA multiple regression model using Executive Function as the dependent variable confirmed a quadratic relationship between sleep duration and cognitive performance, controlling for age, chronotype, insomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea traits, vascular co-morbidity, smoking, BMI, APOE ε4 genotype, and socioeconomic status.

measurementA large population-based study of more than 1,000 adults found a U-shaped relationship between sleep duration (measured by polysomnography) and body mass index, where adults who slept 7.7 hours had the lowest BMI, and those with shorter or longer sleep durations had progressively higher BMI.
measurementIn a 13-year cohort study of nearly 500 adults, individuals with short sleep duration (less than 6 hours) by age 27 were 7.5 times more likely to have a higher body mass index, after controlling for confounding factors like family history, physical activity, and demographics (Hasler et al., 2004).
