This study aims to understand the health correlates of sleep deficiencies in non-elderly U.S. Hispanic women. Data from a sample of U.S. Hispanic women (n = 1531; ages 18-65 [M = 39.98; SD = 12.85]) who completed the 2017 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed to understand (1) sleep duration and quality; (2) the association of sleep patterns with key health indicators; and (3) whether these relationships are mediated by health behaviors (ie, healthy eating and physical activity). Shorter sleep duration was associated with a higher likelihood of often feeling anxious and having hypertension. Worse sleep quality was associated with a higher likelihood of being overweight, having fair or poor health status, often feeling depressed, often feeling anxious, having high cholesterol, and having asthma. Doctor's recommendation to engage in physical activity and to decrease calorie intake served as mediators in some of these relationships. Results indicate that among Hispanic women: (1) sleep is an important determinant of a variety of health outcomes and (2) the association of sleep and many health outcomes are mediated by healthy eating and physical activity. Further research on the association of sleep and risk of chronic disease among Hispanic women is needed.
本研究旨在了解非老年美国西班牙裔女性睡眠不足的健康相关因素。本研究分析了来自美国西班牙裔女性样本的数据（n=1531；年龄 18-65[M=39.98；SD=12.85]），这些女性完成了 2017 年全国健康访谈调查，以了解：(1)睡眠时长和质量；(2)睡眠模式与关键健康指标的关联；以及(3)这些关系是否由健康行为（即健康饮食和体育活动）介导。睡眠时间较短与经常感到焦虑和患有高血压的可能性较高有关。睡眠质量较差与超重、健康状况一般或较差、经常感到沮丧、经常感到焦虑、胆固醇较高和患有哮喘的可能性较高有关。医生建议进行体育活动和减少卡路里摄入在其中一些关系中起中介作用。结果表明，在西班牙裔女性中：(1)睡眠是多种健康结果的重要决定因素；(2)睡眠与许多健康结果的关联由健康饮食和体育活动介导。需要进一步研究西班牙裔女性的睡眠与慢性疾病风险之间的关联。
