摘要

Objective: Based on cross-sectional studies, sleep duration has been shown to have a relationship with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS); however, no prospective studies have verified a correlation between the incidence of MS and the gender difference. Herein we prospectively determined the association between MS and gender using a large sample.
