ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected the health of the global population, with sleep quality being one of the affected parameters.OBJECTIVES:
To evaluate sleep quality and its associated factors in adults during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. DESIGN ANDSETTING:
A population-based cross-sectional serological survey of 1,762 adults in the Iron Quadrangle region of Brazil.METHODS:
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality. Sociodemographic variables, health conditions, health-related behaviors, anxiety, vitamin D levels, weight gain/loss, and pandemic characteristics were assessed using a structured questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate analyses using Poisson regression with robust variance were performed to identify factors associated with sleep quality.RESULTS:
More than half of the participants reported poor sleep quality (52.5%). Multivariate analysis revealed that the factors associated with poor sleep quality included living alone (prevalence ratio [PR] = 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.73), anxiety disorder (PR = 1.32; 95% CI 1.08-1.62), 5.0% weight loss (PR = 1.21; 95% CI 1.02-1.44), 5.0% weight gain (PR = 1.27; 95% CI 1.03-1.55), vitamin D deficiency (PR = 1.16; 95% CI 1.01-1.35), and COVID-19 symptoms (PR = 1.29; 95% CI 1.10-1.52).CONCLUSIONS:
Our study revealed that more than half of the participants experienced poor sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors associated with poor sleep quality included vitamin D deficiency and weight changes related to the pandemic.
