Impaired sleep can adversely affect daily life. This study assesses the association between different factors and sleep status among apparently healthy Saudi adults. In total, 478 adults were included in this study. Data on anthropometrics, body composition, stress scales, physical activity, and dietary habits were collected. Fasting blood glucose and lipid profile were measured. Sleep quality and duration were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Larger neck circumference (NC) was associated with short sleep duration (odds ratio (OR) 1.23; 95% confidence interval (CI) [1.08, 1.41]; = 0.002). Higher triglyceride levels were associated with poor sleep quality (OR 1.01; 95% CI [1.002, 1.02]; = 0.019) and short sleep duration (OR 1.01; 95% CI [1.004, 1.02]; = 0.005). Stress was a risk factor for poor sleep quality (OR 1.15; 95% CI [1.09, 1.22]; < 0.001). Being married was significantly associated with good sleep quality (OR 2.97; 95% CI [1.32, 6.71]; = 0.009), while being single was correlated with longer sleep duration (OR 0.46; 95% CI [0.22, 0.96]; = 0.039). Other factors such as having a larger waist circumference and more muscle mass were protective factors against poor sleep quality and/or short sleep duration. In conclusion, a larger NC is suggested as a risk factor for short sleep duration and a higher triglyceride level for both short and poor sleep among healthy Saudis. Investigating the factors associated with sleep status may help alleviate sleep disturbances and improve overall health. Further studies are needed to confirm causality using objective sleep measures.
睡眠质量差会对日常生活造成负面影响。本研究评估了不同因素与沙特成年人健康状况之间的关联。共纳入 478 名成年人。收集了人体测量学、身体成分、压力量表、身体活动和饮食习惯的数据。测量了空腹血糖和血脂谱。使用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数评估睡眠质量和持续时间。较大的颈围（NC）与睡眠持续时间较短有关（比值比（OR）1.23；95%置信区间（CI）[1.08，1.41]；=0.002）。较高的甘油三酯水平与睡眠质量差（OR 1.01；95% CI [1.002，1.02]；=0.019）和睡眠持续时间短（OR 1.01；95% CI [1.004，1.02]；=0.005）有关。压力是睡眠质量差的危险因素（OR 1.15；95% CI [1.09，1.22]；<0.001）。已婚与良好的睡眠质量显著相关（OR 2.97；95% CI [1.32，6.71]；=0.009），而单身与更长的睡眠持续时间相关（OR 0.46；95% CI [0.22，0.96]；=0.039）。其他因素，如较大的腰围和更多的肌肉量，是预防睡眠质量差和/或睡眠持续时间短的保护因素。总之，较大的 NC 被认为是沙特健康成年人睡眠持续时间短的危险因素，较高的甘油三酯水平是睡眠持续时间短和睡眠质量差的危险因素。研究与睡眠状态相关的因素可能有助于缓解睡眠障碍，改善整体健康状况。需要进一步的研究来使用客观的睡眠测量来确认因果关系。
