- The study examines the link between sleep quality and the weight-adjusted waist index in U.S. adults.
- Higher sleep quality is associated with a lower weight-adjusted waist index, indicating reduced central adiposity.
- The association remains significant even after adjusting for demographics, lifestyle, and chronic conditions.
- Stronger associations were found in younger adults, women, and non-Hispanic Whites.
- Improving sleep quality may help reduce central fat and related cardiometabolic risks.
