Association between physical activity, trouble sleeping, and obesity among older Americans: a cross-sectional study based on NHANES data from 2007 to 2018
Insufficient PA and trouble sleeping in older adults are positively associated with obesity. Engaging in either a weekend warrior or regular PA lifestyle is negatively associated with obesity. Furthermore, adopting a regularly active lifestyle may mitigate the negative impact of trouble sleeping on obesity. However, regardless of the presence of trouble sleeping, insufficient PA remains positively associated with obesity in older adults.
