BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Irregular lifestyles, such as sleep deprivation and disordered eating, disrupt the circadian clock and are linked to health issues. This study investigates the relationship among chronotypes, social jet lag, night-snacking habits, and screen time in toddlers.
A survey of 6177 mothers of children aged 3-8 years was conducted in June 2022. Means comparison and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze the data.
Toddlers who consumed night snacks were more likely to be evening types and experienced longer social jet lag. Longer screen time during night snacking correlated with evening-type tendencies. Juice and ice cream were identified as evening-type snacks.
We suggest that stopping snacks after dinner is crucial to prevent evening-type eating. Especially, high-sugar and high-fat night snacks like juice and ice cream may contribute to nocturnal habits and disrupt circadian rhythms in children.
背景/目的:不规律的生活方式,如睡眠不足和饮食紊乱,会扰乱生物钟,并与健康问题相关联。本研究调查了幼儿的昼夜节律类型、社会时差、夜间吃零食习惯和屏幕使用时间之间的关系。
2022年6月对6177名3至8岁儿童的母亲进行了一项调查。采用均值比较和多元回归分析来分析数据。
吃夜间零食的幼儿更有可能是晚睡型,且经历更长的社会时差。夜间吃零食时较长的屏幕使用时间与晚睡型倾向相关。果汁和冰淇淋被确定为晚睡型零食。
我们建议晚餐后停止吃零食对于预防晚睡型饮食至关重要。特别是,像果汁和冰淇淋这样的高糖高脂肪夜间零食可能会导致儿童养成夜间习惯并扰乱昼夜节律。
