ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the relationships between sleep duration,dietary patterns and overweight/obesity among adolescents in Xuzhou,and to develop prevention and intervention strategies for adolescent-obesity.Methods Data of 3 103 boys and girls from 5 junior high schools were analyzed.Self-reported information on duration of sleep,dietary patterns,physical activities and time spent on watching video/audio program were assessed and physique data was also collected.Descriptive statistics,multiple liner regression and logistic regression models were used.Results The prevalence rates on overweight and obesity in boys were 23.5% and 22.5%,and in girls were 18.1% and 11.9%,respectively.Proportions of insufficient sleep (< 8 h/d) in boys appeared 28.1% and in girls as 33.0%.From logistic regression analysis revealed that there appeared risk on the prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys who had sleep duration <7 h/d [OR(95%CI):1.72 (1.08-2.74)],but no significant association was found between duration of sleep and overweight/ obesity in girls.After adjusting on age,levels of parental education,family income,physical activities,time spent on watching video/audio programs,and weight status,boys who had sleep duration less than 7 h/d would have the odds ratio of 1.69 (1.10-2.73),for the likelihood of increasing the frequency of eating snacks compared to their counterparts who had sleep duration of ≥8 h/d.Conclusion The Shortened duration of sleep seemed an independent risk factor on overweight/ obesity among male adolescents,and it was associated with the increased frequency of eating snacks.Data from our study showed that the dietary patterns might play a role in the association between duration of sleep and overweight/obesity,among male adolescents.
