Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the association between sleep disturbances, as an indicator of sleep quality, Body Mass Index, and age in adult participants. The study involved 73 participants (62 women and 11 men) with an average age of 35.74 years. Through an online questionnaire, we collected the data on participants’ height, body mass, gender, and sleep disturbances. Based on their height and mass, we calculated the Body Mass Index as an indicator of body fat for each participant. We used items from a shorter version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep disturbances. Participants were asked to answer how often they experienced different disturbances while falling asleep or sleeping in the last month. The results of the study indicated an association between sleep disturbances and Body Mass Index. Compared to participants who rarely experienced sleep disturbances, participants with frequent disturbances were more likely to have a high Body Mass Index (indicating excess mass or obesity). Although older participants in most cases had a high Body Mass Index compared to younger participants, no significant association was found between sleep disturbances and age. The results of the study also suggest that the association between sleep disturbances and Body Mass Index did not depend on the age of the participants. The research findings indicate that in addressing the issues of obesity and excess mass, public health attention should also be given to sleep quality issues.

成人睡眠障碍与体重指数和年龄的关系
这项研究的目的是研究睡眠障碍(睡眠质量指标)、体重指数和成年参与者年龄之间的关系。这项研究涉及73名参与者(62名女性和11名男性),平均年龄为35.74岁。通过一份在线问卷,我们收集了参与者的身高、体重、性别和睡眠障碍等数据。根据他们的身高和体重,我们计算出了身体质量指数,作为每个参与者身体脂肪的指标。我们使用了匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index)的简化版来评估睡眠障碍。参与者被要求回答他们在上个月入睡或睡觉时经历不同干扰的频率。研究结果表明睡眠障碍和身体质量指数之间存在关联。与很少经历睡眠障碍的参与者相比,经常受到睡眠障碍的参与者更有可能拥有高体重指数(表明超重或肥胖)。虽然在大多数情况下,老年参与者的身体质量指数比年轻人高,但睡眠障碍和年龄之间没有明显的联系。研究结果还表明,睡眠障碍和身体质量指数之间的关系并不取决于参与者的年龄。研究结果表明,在解决肥胖和超重问题时,公共卫生也应关注睡眠质量问题。
