Obesity is considered an epidemic condition. It is related to the increased prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, but there are no studies in the Mexican paediatric population on its relationship with sleep disorders.
We sought to determine the prevalence of sleep disorders in paediatrics, as well as factors for their development.
An observational, analytical, retrospective study, was performed including patients aged 2 to 16 years, between March 2019-2021. The Paediatric Sleep Questionnaire was used to assess the presence of sleep disorders.
Sixty-four patients were included, 27 (42.18%) of whom had sleep disorder criteria. Among these, obesity, i.e. weight percentile ≥ 75 and body mass index percentile ≥ 93.5, was a risk factor. Normal weight was protective.
Obesity in paediatric patients may favour the appearance of sleep disorders; screening could favour early diagnosis, correct treatment, and better life quality.
肥胖被认为是一种流行病症。它与慢性退行性疾病的高发率有关，但在墨西哥儿科人群中，尚未有关于其与睡眠障碍关系的研究。
我们旨在确定儿科人群中睡眠障碍的流行率，以及其发生的相关因素。
进行了一项观察性、分析性、回顾性研究，纳入了 2019 年 3 月至 2021 年间年龄在 2 至 16 岁的患者。使用《儿科睡眠问卷》评估睡眠障碍的存在。
共纳入 64 名患者，其中 27 名（42.18%）符合睡眠障碍标准。其中，肥胖，即体重百分位值≥75 且体重指数百分位值≥93.5，是一个风险因素。正常体重具有保护作用。
儿科患者肥胖可能有利于睡眠障碍的出现；筛查可能有利于早期诊断、正确治疗和提高生活质量。
