Childhood obesity is associated with various levels of deterioration in the quality of life and many serious medical conditions such as psychiatric problems.
The objectives of this study are to investigate whether a difference in terms of chronotype among obese and non-obese children and adolescents, and restricted sleep duration, is associated with obesity and whether chronotype and sleep duration in children and adolescents with obesity are associated with quality of life and comorbid psychiatric disorders.
Forty-two participants diagnosed with childhood obesity were included in the study as the study group, and thirty-five participants without childhood obesity were included as the control group. Participants and their parents completed the Questionnaire for Measuring Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents, the Development and Well-Being Assessment, and the Childhood Chronotype Questionnaire. The duration of sleep of the participants was also provided by the parent's reporting within the scope of the study.
Sleep duration was an independent risk factor for becoming obese and had a significant effect on the number of comorbid psychiatric disorders independently of the morning-evening scale score.
Unlike the chronotype, this study provided important evidence that sleep duration was associated with the development of obesity and the quantity of comorbid psychiatric disorders.
儿童肥胖与生活质量的多个层面恶化以及许多严重的医疗状况(如精神问题)有关。
本研究的目的是调查肥胖和非肥胖儿童和青少年之间的昼夜型差异以及睡眠时间受限是否与肥胖有关,以及肥胖儿童和青少年的昼夜型和睡眠时间是否与生活质量和合并精神障碍有关。
将 42 名被诊断为儿童肥胖的参与者纳入研究作为研究组,将 35 名没有儿童肥胖的参与者纳入对照组。参与者及其父母完成了儿童和青少年健康相关生活质量问卷、发育和幸福感评估以及儿童昼夜型问卷。研究范围内还通过家长报告提供了参与者的睡眠时间。
睡眠时间是肥胖的独立危险因素,并且与晨型-晚型量表评分无关,对合并精神障碍的数量有显著影响。
与昼夜型不同,本研究提供了重要证据表明,睡眠时间与肥胖的发展和合并精神障碍的数量有关。
