This cross-sectional study examined correlations between physical activity and anthropometrics as well as sleep quality and anthropometrics.
College students (n = 85) with average age 25.6 ± 5.4 years.
Participants received full-body dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scans and completed validated surveys: Habitual Physical Activity questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale.
Males reported more sports-related physical activity than females (p = 0.041). Physical activity indices and percent body fat were inversely correlated (total ⍴ = -0.320, p < 0.001; sport β = -0.378, p = 0.003). Participants had poor overall sleep quality (PSQI = 6.19 ± 2.99). The PSQI sleep quality index: disturbance was directly correlated with body mass index (BMI) (β = 0.328, p = 0.007).
Health interventions on college campuses should promote more physical activity and better quality sleep as these factors were related to improved body anthropometrics and potentially reduced chronic disease risk.
本横断面研究旨在探讨体力活动与人体测量学指标以及睡眠质量与人体测量学指标之间的相关性。
平均年龄 25.6±5.4 岁的大学生(n=85)。
参与者接受全身双能 X 射线吸收仪扫描,并完成经过验证的调查:习惯性体力活动问卷、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)和爱泼沃斯嗜睡量表。
男性报告的与运动相关的体力活动多于女性(p=0.041)。体力活动指数和体脂肪百分比呈负相关(总 ⍴=-0.320,p<0.001;运动 ⍴=-0.378,p=0.003)。参与者的总体睡眠质量较差(PSQI=6.19±2.99)。PSQI 睡眠质量指数:干扰与体重指数(BMI)呈直接相关(β=0.328,p=0.007)。
大学校园的健康干预措施应促进更多的体力活动和更好的睡眠质量,因为这些因素与改善人体测量学指标和潜在降低慢性病风险有关。
