To review the current literature on the relationship between sleep, nutritional status and eating behavior, as well as mechanisms associated with these elements in children.
The literature research was conducted in the PubMed, LILACS and Scopus databases, using the following terms: "Child"; "Nutritional status"; "Sleep"; "Physical activity OR Physical activities OR Exercise". The articles included were those that met the research objective. Review articles, letters to authors, or guidelines were excluded.
402 articles were initially found in the literature search. After careful analyses of the title and abstract, and application of inclusion criteria, only 24 studies were included in the present review. Most studies (n=13) suggest that short sleep duration (<9-10 hours/night) is associated with overweight/obesity in children. Only three studies did not show associations between overweight/obesity and sleep variables. Short sleep duration is also associated with poor food quality, higher intake of soft drinks and stimulant beverages before bedtime, as well as micronutrient deficiency.
Sleep duration is related to overweight and obesity development in infants. Changes in dietary pattern are also related to sleep debt, being one of the mechanisms that contribute to excessive weight gain. It is necessary that health professionals understand the importance of sleep quality in the nutritional status maintenance in children.
综述目前关于睡眠、营养状况和饮食行为之间的关系，以及儿童相关这些因素的关联机制的文献。
文献检索在 PubMed、LILACS 和 Scopus 数据库中进行，使用以下术语：“儿童”；“营养状况”；“睡眠”；“体力活动或体力活动或运动”。纳入的文章符合研究目标。排除综述文章、给作者的信函或指南。
在文献检索中最初发现了 402 篇文章。经过仔细分析标题和摘要，并应用纳入标准，本综述仅纳入了 24 项研究。大多数研究（n=13）表明，睡眠时间短（<9-10 小时/夜）与儿童超重/肥胖有关。只有三项研究未显示超重/肥胖与睡眠变量之间存在关联。睡眠时间短还与食物质量差、睡前摄入更多软饮料和兴奋剂饮料以及微量营养素缺乏有关。
睡眠持续时间与婴儿超重和肥胖的发展有关。饮食模式的变化也与睡眠债务有关，是导致体重过度增加的机制之一。健康专业人员必须了解睡眠质量对儿童营养状况维持的重要性。
