Abstract

Aim: The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of body weight on sleep duration and sleep quality in adolescents.
Material and Method: This cross-sectional study was performed on 14-17 year old adolescents (n=1072) attending to public and private high schools. In order to determine the sleep quality, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was filled, and sociodemographic data were collected through a questionnaire. Body weight, height, waist and hip circumferences were measured and body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio were calculated.
Results: In the least sleeping group (<8 hours/day) for both genders, the body weights were the highest (p<0.05). In boys, the least sleeping group had the highest BMI (p<0.05). The adolescents having good sleep quality had lower body weight and BMI values than the ones having poor sleep quality but the difference is not statistically significant. There was no significant relationship between the sleep quality and age, smoking habits, family types, self-evaluated school success and appetite.
Conclusion: Sleep duration may be an important factor for obesity. In order to develop improvements on health; the adolescents, their families and teachers should be informed more on healthy nutrition and healthy sleep.

Adölesanlarda Vücut Ağırlığının Uyku Kalitesi ve Uyku Süresine Etkisi

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırmanın amacı, adölesanlarda vücut ağırlığının uyku süresi ve uyku kalitesi üzerine etkisinin belirlenmesidir.
Materyal ve Metod: Kesitsel olarak tasarlanan bu araştırma, özel ve devlet liselerine devam eden 14-17 yaş adölesanlar (n=1072) üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Uyku kalitesini değerlendirmek amacıyla, Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PSQI) kullanılmıştır. Sosyo-demografik veriler anket aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel ve kalça çevresi ölçülmüş, Beden Kütle İndeksi (BKİ) ve bel kalça oranı hesaplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Her iki cinsiyette de en az uyuyan (<8 saat/gün) adölesanların vücut ağırlıklarının en fazla olduğu belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Erkeklerde, en az uyuyan grubun BKİ’si en yüksektir. İstatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmasa da iyi uyku kalitesine sahip olan adölesanların vücut ağırlığı ve BKİ değerlerinin, kötü uyku kalitesi olanlara göre daha düşük olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uyku kalitesi ile yaş, sigara kullanımı, aile tipi, okul başarısı ve iştah arasında bir ilişki saptanmamıştır.
Sonuç: Uyku süresi obezite için önemli bir faktör olabilir. Sağlığı geliştirmek için; adölesanlar, aileleri ve öğretmenleri sağlıklı beslenme ve sağlıklı uyku konularında daha fazla bilgilendirilmelidir.
