To determine the relationship between sleep duration and obesity in Turkish children and adolescents.
This study was conducted in Turkey with 5358 children aged 6 to 17 years. Height, weight, waist circumference (WC), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness were measured. Body mass index (BMI), arm fat area were calculated. Self-reported sleep duration by parents were obtained.
As sleep duration increased, BMI, which was significantly higher in girls sleeping < or =8 h, decreased (p < 0.05). WC, MUAC, BMI were significantly higher in boys sleeping < or =8 h versus males sleeping > or =10 h. Boys sleeping < or =10 h in 6.0-17.0-years had significantly higher risk of overweight/obesity. In 6.0 to 17.0 years, the risk of overweight/obesity in boys sleeping 9-10 h, 8-9 h and < or =8 h were 1.86-, 1.74- and 2.06-times higher respectively, versus children sleeping > or =10 h (p < 0.05).
Sleep duration may be an important factor for obesity and providing > or =10 h of sleep is recommended as a prevention strategy for obesity.
确定土耳其儿童和青少年的睡眠时间与肥胖之间的关系。
本研究在土耳其对5358名6至17岁的儿童进行。测量身高、体重、腰围(WC)、上臂中部周长(MUAC)、肱三头肌皮褶厚度。计算体重指数(BMI)、手臂脂肪面积。获取父母自我报告的睡眠时间。
随着睡眠时间增加,睡眠时间≤8小时的女孩中显著更高的BMI降低(p<0.05)。睡眠时间≤8小时的男孩与睡眠时间≥10小时的男孩相比,WC、MUAC、BMI显著更高。6.0至17.0岁睡眠时间≤10小时的男孩超重/肥胖风险显著更高。在6.0至17.0岁,睡眠时间为9 - 10小时、8 - 9小时和≤8小时的男孩超重/肥胖风险分别是睡眠时间≥10小时儿童的1.86倍、1.74倍和2.06倍(p<0.05)。
睡眠时间可能是肥胖的一个重要因素,建议将睡眠时间≥10小时作为肥胖预防策略。
