ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the sleep quality state of people who did physical examination,and its correlation with brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV).Methods The indexes of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and baPWV were used.The people who did physical examination were divided into sleep disorders group (284 cases) and normal sleep group (608 cases) according to the results of PSQI survey.Results (1) There were 31.84％ of the people who had sleep quality problems.(2) The PSQI total score and the score of subjective sleep quality (SSQ),sleep duration (Sdu),daytime dysfunction (DD) of females were higher than males (t =6.71,3.46,2.45,3.96,P ＜0.05).The PSQI total score and the score of sleep latency (SL),habitual sleep efficiency (HSE),use of sleeping medication (USM) among different age groups were statistically analyzed (F =12.23,8.31,7.50,7.11,P ＜ 0.05).(3) The score of baPWV of sleep disorders group was higher than normal sleep group (t =5.14,P ＜ 0.05).There were significantly positive correlation between baPWV and total PSQI score,subjective sleep quality,sleep time,daytime dysfunction (r =0.28,0.45,0.30,0.36,0.35,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions 1/3 of the physical examination people have sleep quality problems.Sleep quality of females is worse than males.There are different styles among different age groups.There is significantly positive correlation between sleep quality and baPWV.
