Resumen
The U-shaped associations between sleep durations and cardiometabolic risk factors (glycated hemoglobin
levels, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, hypertension and cholesterol levels) are still inconclusive. Moreover, as sleep is comprised
of quantitative and qualitative aspects, exploring both insomnia symptoms and sleep duration are relevant when evaluating
the potential effects of sleep problems on health. The aim was to evaluate sex-specific associations between sleep problems
and cardiometabolic risk factors.
