This study aimed to evaluate daytime napping in relation to T2D and adiposity measures in elderly individuals from the Mediterranean region. A cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 2190 elderly participants with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome, in the PREDIMED-Plus trial, was carried out. Accelerometer-derived napping was measured. Prevalence ratios (PR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for T2D were obtained using multivariable-adjusted Cox regression with constant time. Linear regression models were fitted to examine associations of napping with body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). Participants napping ≥90 min had a higher prevalence of T2D (PR 1.37 (1.06, 1.78)) compared with those napping 5 toenAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/PREDIMED-Plusactigraphybody mass indexnaptype 2 diabeteswaist circumferenceLong Daytime Napping Is Associated with Increased Adiposity and Type 2 Diabetes in an Elderly Population with Metabolic Syndrome.research article31330940open access10.3390/jcm8071053PMC6678571https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/8/7/1053/pdf?version=1563508640https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6678571/pdf
