This study aimed to evaluate the status of sleep, chronotype, and related variables of university athletes with and without chronic low back pain (CLBP), to find the correlation between CLBP, sleep difficulty score (SDS), and chronotype, and to determine if SDS and chronotype predict CLBP. Ninety-two university athletes [46 with CLBP (Age: 22.08±2.74 years) and 46 healthy athletes (Age: 22.32±3.11 years) completed the athlete sleep screening questionnaire (ASSQ), also, their demographic, anxiety, depression, and sports-related details were collected. A Pearson correlation and logistic regression models (univariate and multivariate) were used for the statistical analysis. The results demonstrated a higher SDS and evening type preference in CLBP athletes, a significant negative correlation between CLBP and chronotype (r = -0.40, <0.01), a significant correlation between SDS and CLBP (r = 0.25, = 0.01). SDS and chronotype were not found to be significant independent predictors of CLBP. This study concludes that there exists a correlation of CLBP, SDS, and chronotype However, despite the relationship, SDS and chronotype cannot predict CLBP.
本研究旨在评估有无慢性下腰痛（CLBP）的大学运动员的睡眠状况、昼夜节律类型及相关变量，找出CLBP、睡眠困难评分（SDS）和昼夜节律类型之间的相关性，并确定SDS和昼夜节律类型是否能预测CLBP。92名大学运动员[46名患有CLBP（年龄：22.08±2.74岁）和46名健康运动员（年龄：22.32±3.11岁）]完成了运动员睡眠筛查问卷（ASSQ），同时收集了他们的人口统计学、焦虑、抑郁和与运动相关的详细信息。采用Pearson相关性分析和逻辑回归模型（单变量和多变量）进行统计分析。结果显示，CLBP运动员的SDS更高且更倾向于晚睡型，CLBP与昼夜节律类型之间存在显著负相关（r = -0.40，<0.01），SDS与CLBP之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.25，= 0.01）。未发现SDS和昼夜节律类型是CLBP的显著独立预测因素。本研究得出结论，CLBP、SDS和昼夜节律类型之间存在相关性。然而，尽管存在这种关系，SDS和昼夜节律类型并不能预测CLBP。
