Sleep quality and metabolic syndrome in overweight or obese children and adolescents
Keywords:
Adolescent, Child, Metabolic syndrome, Obesity, SleepAbstract
Objective
To assess sleep quality and its association with metabolic syndrome and its components.
Methods
This cross-sectional study was conducted from June 2011 to March 2012 at the Childhood Obesity Center, Campina Grande, Paraíba, Brazil, with 135 overweight or obese children and adolescents. Sleep quality was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Metabolic syndrome diagnosis was based on abdominal circumference, blood pressure, glycemia, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, and triglycerides. The data were treated by the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22.0 at a significance level of 5%.
Results
The prevalence of poor sleep quality or sleep disorder according to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was 40.7%, and females had higher mean global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score. Metabolic syndrome prevalence was 63.0%. Females also had higher daytime dysfunction. Poor sleep quality was associated with high diastolic blood pressure (OR=2.6; p=0.015) and waist circumference (OR=3.17; p=0.024) after adjusting for sex and age.
Conclusion
Girls had higher global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score, which was associated with daytime dysfunction. Poor sleep quality was a predictor of high diastolic blood pressure in the study sample.
