| Abstract: | Childhood obesity is one of the most serious public health challenges of the 21st century.Obesity plays an important role on the pathophysiological process of high blood pressure and hypertension, clearly involving a chronic inflammatory state. Currently it is strongly believed that sleep plays an important role in hormonal homeostasis modulated by clock genes (e.g., REV-ERBα) of circadian rhythm in the pediatric population. In this line, short sleep duration is a significant risk for childhood obesity; whereas, long sleep duration is suggested to impair whole-body energy metabolism and consequently increase the risk of obesity. In this sense, obesity seems to have a U-shaped relationship with sleep duration. Encouraging sleep recommendations can be an effective effort to prevent and control child obesity. © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
