Sleep duration and timing in relation to osteoporosis in an elderly Chinese population: a cross-sectional analysis in the Dongfeng-Tongji cohort study

摘要

This population-based cross-sectional study in an older Chinese population shows a link between sleep duration, sleep timing, and osteoporosis risk, suggesting that sleep may have a role in osteoporosis development. These findings may help to identify contributing mechanisms and provide new opportunities for sleep-focused interventions to prevent osteoporosis.
