Subjects divided into 3 groups based upon their reported (< 7, 7-8, ≥ 9 h per night). Odds ratios (ORs) 95% confidence intervals (CIs) derived multivariable logistic regression evaluate aims.The endorsement DIS DMS cross-sectionally associated MetS after adjustment (OR [95% CI] was 1.24 [1.01-1.51] 1.28 [1.02-1.61], respectively). In addition, short significantly prevalence independent 1.54 [1.05-2.47]). However, there no significant combined effect MetS.The current investigation shows that specifically DMS, correlates MetS. These findings should be replicated prospective studies both quality measures.
