The present study aimed to examine the separate and combined association of self-reported sleep duration and quality with the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adult Chinese males. A total of 4,144 subjects were enrolled in the present crossed-sectional study. All participants were subjected to anthropometric measurements, blood tests and a survey based on a standardized questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression was used to assess the influence of sleep duration and quality on the prevalence of MetS. The group that had 7 h of sleep had the best results as compared with those with shorter or longer sleep durations, and the prevalence of MetS was the lowest in this group. In addition, poor vs. good sleep quality was associated with an increased risk of MetS. Further analysis suggested that sleep duration and quality had an additive effect on the prevalence of MetS. In conclusion, sleep duration as well as quality should be considered when exploring the potential association between sleep and other conditions.
