The aim of this study was to investigate sleep duration and its health correlates in university students from 26 low-, middle- and high-income countries. Using anonymous questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, data were collected from 19417 undergraduate university students (mean age 20.8, SD = 2.8) from 27 universities from 26 countries across Asia, Africa and the Americas. Results indicate that the average number of self-reported hours of sleep was 7.07 (CI = 7.04-7.09), with the prevalence of reporting ≤ 6, 7-8, and ≥ 9 h sleep duration of 39.2, 46.9, and 13.9%, respectively. Multinomial logistic regression found that sociodemographic variables, health risk behaviour and health status variables were found to be associated with short and long sleep duration.
本研究旨在调查来自 26 个低收入、中等收入和高收入国家的大学生的睡眠时长及其与健康的相关性。使用匿名问卷和人体测量方法，从来自亚洲、非洲和美洲 26 个国家的 27 所大学的 19417 名本科大学生（平均年龄 20.8，标准差=2.8）中收集了数据。结果表明，自我报告的平均睡眠时间为 7.07 小时（置信区间=7.04-7.09），报告的睡眠时间≤6、7-8 和≥9 小时的比例分别为 39.2%、46.9%和 13.9%。多变量逻辑回归发现，社会人口统计学变量、健康风险行为和健康状况变量与短睡和长睡有关。
