Obese youth are more likely to report difficulties with sleep, depression, and quality of life (QOL). This study aims to characterize sleep problems, QOL, and symptoms of depression by degree of obesity.
The cross-sectional study was conducted in a specialized obesity clinic. Obese youth and their caregivers (N = 150) were evaluated with the Child Sleep Habits Questionnaire and Pediatric Quality of Life. Youth completed the Children's Depression Inventory. Regression models and correlations were calculated.
Degree of obesity was predictive of increased sleep difficulties and decreased QOL scores. Children's Depression Inventory scores showed that children with more symptoms of depression had more sleep problems, and these were not associated with the degree of obesity. Adolescents with more difficulties sleeping also reported more symptoms of depression and lower QOL.
Degree of obesity negatively affected QOL and sleep variables. Patients with greater sleeping difficulties reported more symptoms of depression.
肥胖青少年更有可能报告睡眠困难、抑郁和生活质量 (QOL) 下降。本研究旨在根据肥胖程度来描述睡眠问题、QOL 和抑郁症状。
该横断面研究在一家专门的肥胖症诊所进行。评估了肥胖青少年及其照顾者（N=150）的儿童睡眠习惯问卷和儿科生活质量。青少年完成了儿童抑郁量表。计算了回归模型和相关性。
肥胖程度与睡眠困难增加和 QOL 评分降低有关。儿童抑郁量表评分显示，抑郁症状较多的儿童睡眠问题更多，且与肥胖程度无关。睡眠困难较多的青少年也报告了更多的抑郁症状和较低的 QOL。
肥胖程度对 QOL 和睡眠变量有负面影响。睡眠困难较大的患者报告了更多的抑郁症状。
