The studies suggested that sleep duration and depression can associate with the metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and depression with incidence of MS and its components in Iranian patients. Between Apr 2014 and Oct 2014 and in a cross-sectional study, out of all patients referred to the Clinic, 290 patients were entered into our study. Patients with neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy and history of mental illness and also taking psychiatric medication and sleeping pills and the patients that could not read were censored from study. MS was diagnosed based on American Heart Association (AHA), except for waist based on an Iranian study, more than 95 cm in both sexes was considered as more than normal. For status of depression and sleep duration, were used the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and self-reported sleep duration with 6 status. The mean age at diagnosis was 52.4 years, 74 patients (25.5%) were male and 81 patients (28%) had MS. There was a significant inverse correlation between HDL level and a significant direct correlation between HbA1c levels with sleep duration. Also, there were significant direct correlations between waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure with depression status. In conclusion, there was no significant correlation between sleep duration and depression with incidence of MS, but they were predictive factors for a number of components of MS.
