PURPOSE
Research in adults suggests that altitude impacts the restorative properties of sleep and increases risk for mental health concerns. The aim of this study was to extend this research to an adolescent sample to examine how living at altitude may be associated with greater sleep need and mental health symptoms during a period of the life-span when risk for insufficient sleep and mental health difficulties is high.
METHODS
Data were collected from 105 adolescents aged 10-17 years residing at moderate-high altitudes. Parents reported on sociodemographics and adolescent depressive and anxiety symptoms, and adolescents reported on their subjective sleep need and sleep duration. Altitude was calculated using U.S. Geological Survey data.
RESULTS
Adjusting for age, sex, socioeconomic status, rurality, and sleep duration, living at higher altitude was associated with reports of greater sleep need. Altitude was unrelated to mental health symptoms.
DISCUSSION
The majority of adolescents do not obtain the recommended amount of sleep. These findings suggest that adolescents living at moderate-high altitudes may be at further risk due increased sleep need at higher elevations.
目的
针对成年人的研究表明，海拔高度会影响睡眠的恢复功能，并增加心理健康问题的风险。本研究的目的是将该研究扩展至青少年样本，以考察在睡眠不足和心理健康问题风险较高的生命周期阶段，生活在高海拔地区如何可能与更高的睡眠需求和心理健康症状相关联。
方法
收集了105名居住在中高海拔地区、年龄在10至17岁之间的青少年的数据。父母报告了社会人口统计学信息以及青少年的抑郁和焦虑症状，青少年报告了他们主观的睡眠需求和睡眠时间。海拔高度使用美国地质调查局的数据进行计算。
结果
在对年龄、性别、社会经济地位、农村地区和睡眠时间进行调整后，生活在较高海拔地区与更高的睡眠需求报告相关。海拔高度与心理健康症状无关。
讨论
大多数青少年未获得推荐的睡眠时间。这些发现表明，生活在中高海拔地区的青少年可能因海拔升高导致睡眠需求增加而面临更大风险。
