ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SHORT SLEEP DURATION AND OBESITY IN MEDICAL STUDENTS

ABSTRACTObjective: Adequate sleep has been considered important for the adolescent’s health and well-being. On the other hand, self-imposed sleepcurtailment is now recognized as a potentially important and novel risk factor for obesity. The objective of the study is to find the association betweenshort sleep duration and obesity (by calculating the body mass index [BMI]) among medical students.Methods: The study was conducted on 100 medical students. A brief history of sleep duration was taken. The height and weight were taken and thebody mass index (BMI) was calculated by formula weight in kg / height in m. Based on the BMI criteria the students were classified into six groups:Underweight, normal, overweight, obese class I, obese class II and obese III. The waist circumference (WC) was also taken. The data obtained werestatistically analysed by ANOVA test and the p < 0.5 was considered significant.2Results: The present cross-sectional study showed that there is an association between short sleep duration and obesity which was highly significant(p<0.001). This study also shows that there is an association between short sleep duration and waist circumference which was also highly significant(p<0.001).Conclusion: The present study observed a high association of short sleep duration among medical students of IMS and SUM Hospital and that shortsleep duration was significantly associated with increased risk of overweight and obesity. We should further investigate whether adults adopting ahealthy lifestyle with short sleep duration would improve their sleeping habits or not.Keywords: Sleep duration, Body mass index, Waist circumference, Obesity.

Abstract: Obesity is defined as an abnormal accumulation of body fat in proportion to body size. Obesity is a public health crisis that is very substantial. The prevalence of obesity is increasing rapidly in many industrialized countries around the world and become a pandemic that needs immediate attention. Cause of obesity is more complex than the simple paradigm of energy imbalance, but various mechanisms contribute to obesity, including short sleep duration. The purpose of this study was to describe sleep duration and overweight adolescents and to determine the relationship of sleep duration and overweight. This research is an analytic survey with cross sectional study. Study was conducted in junior and senior high school Pax Christi and Rex Mundi Manado, obtained 32 samples of survey respondents with a body mass index above 23.0. Characteristics of the respondents, namely: Age between 14-16 years ever with 15 people (46.9%); Body mass index between 23 to 29.9 were 19 respondents (59.3%); Age at the start of fat, between the ages of 11-15 years as many as 20 people (62.5%); Data diet, greasy 15 respondents (46.9%); Data bedtime, sleep 5-7 hours a night, 21 respondents (65.6%), length of time between the 30 minute nap - 1 hour and between 1 – 2 hours have 13 respondents (40.6%) each. Based on the results of the study, short sleep pattern at night is associated with obesity among (teenage students) of the respondents. Increase and decrease grehlin / leptin, plays a role in relation to the increase in sleep patterns diets ultimately cause obesity. Keywords: Obesity, short sleep patterns, grehlin, leptin, increased appetite.Abstrak: Obesitas didefinisikan sebagai akumulasi abnormal dari lemak tubuh dibandingkan dengan ukuran tubuh normal. Obesitas merupakan krisis kesehatan masyarakat yang sangat substansial. Prevalensi obesitas meningkat dengan cepat di sejumlah negara industri di seluruh dunia dan menjadi pandemik yang memerlukan perhatian segera. Penyebab obesitas lebih kompleks daripada paradigma sederhana ketidakseimbangan energi, namun berbagai mekanisme turut berperan didalamnya, termasuk durasi tidur yang singkat. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan dan untuk mengetahui hubungan durasi tidur pada remaja dengan kelebihan berat badan. Penelitian ini bersifat survey analitik dengan study cross sectional. Penelitian dilakukan di SMP Pax Christi dan SMA Rex Mundi Manado, diperoleh 32 sampel responden penelitian dengan indeks massa tubuh diatas 23,0. Karakteristik responden yaitu: Umur terbanyak antara 14-16 tahun yaitu 15 orang (46,9 %); Indeks massa tubuh antara 23-29,9 sebanyak 19 responden (59,3 %); Umur saat mulai gemuk, antara umur 11-15 tahun yaitu sebanyak 20 orang (62,5 %); Data pola makan, makanan berminyak 15 responden (46,9 %); Data waktu tidur, tidur malam 5-7 jam, 21 responden (65,6 %); Lama waktu tidur siang antara 30 menit-1 jam dan antara 1-2 jam yaitu masing-masing 13 responden (40,6 %). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian kesimpulannya, pola tidur yang singkat pada malam hari berhubungan dengan peningkatan berat badan dari responden.Peningkatan grehlin dan penurunan leptin, memegang peranan dalam hubungan pola tidur dengan peningkatan pola makan yang pada akhirnya menyebabkan kegemukan.Kata kunci: Obesitas, pola tidur singkat, grehlin, leptin, peningkatan nafsu makan.

Body Scan

Overweight and obesity are considered among the major health concerns worldwide. The body mass index is a frequently used measure for overweight and obesity and is associated with common non-communicable diseases such as diabetes type II, cardiovascular diseases and certain cancers. However, the body mass index does not account for the distribution of body fat and relative fat to muscle mass. 3D laser-based photonic full body scans provide detailed information on various body circumferences, surfaces, and volumes as well as body height and weight (using an integrated scale). In the literature, body scans showed good feasibility, reliability, and validity, while also demonstrating a good correlation with health parameters linked to the metabolic syndrome. However, systematic differences between body scan derived measurements and manual measurements remain an issue. This study aimed to assess these systematic differences for body height, waist circumference, and body mass index using cross-sectional data from a homogenous sample of 52 young Swiss male volunteers. In addition to 3D laser-based photonic full body scans and correlative manual measurements, body fat distribution was assessed through bioelectrical impedance analysis. Overall, an excellent correlation was found between measurements of waist circumference and body mass index, and good correlation between body mass index and total fat mass, as well as between waist circumference and visceral fat mass as assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. Volunteers were shorter in height measured by body scan when compared to manual measurements. This systematic difference became smaller when volunteers stood in the scanner in a completely upright position with their feet together. Waist circumference was slightly smaller for manual measurements than for body scan derived values. This systematic difference was larger in overweight volunteers compared to leaner volunteers.

Abstract Background: This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of short sleep duration and its association with overweight or obesity in adolescents from middle school in Fuzhou, China.Methods: A total of 13,063 students (male: 6,500; female: 6,553) from 18 different schools in Fuzhou city were included in this study. Questionnaires focusing on short sleep duration and overweight or obesity related factors were collected. The sleep duration was self-reported by the subjects. The body weight and height were measured by the qualified personnel. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of short sleep duration on overweight or obesity in school students.Results: The overall rates of overweight and obesity were 12.1% and 7.1%, respectively. The prevalence of short sleep duration among students was 82.8%. The majority of high school students (92.5%) showed a short sleep duration. Compared with male children with a sleep duration of 8-10 h per day, the odds ratios (ORs) of overweight/obesity for those with a sleep duration of less than 6 h or 6-8 h per day were 1.60 (1.22-2.09) and 1.07 (0.90-1.29) after adjusting social and demographic status, mental health and lifestyle factors. The homologous ORs of female children were 1.45 (1.04-2.04) and 1.11(0.85-1.45), respectively.Conclusions: A large number of adolescents suffered from short sleep duration. Short sleep duration is associated with a higher OR of overweight/obesity in middle-school children, especially in the male adolescences.

This study was designed to investigate the prevalence of short sleep duration in adolescents from middle school in Fuzhou, China and explore the association between short sleep duration and overweight/obesity. Nano-encapsulated vitamin D3 can improve sleep deprivation, thus reducing the prevalence of overweight and obesity. A total of 13063 students (male: 6,500; female: 6,553) from 18 schools were investigated in the study. Questionnaires focusing on short sleep duration and overweight or obesity related factors were collected. The subjects reported their own sleep duration. The body weight and height of each subject were measured by the qualified personnel. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the effects of short sleep duration on overweight/obesity in school students. The rates of overweight and obesity were 12.1% and 7.1%, respectively. The prevalence of short sleep duration among teenagers was 82.8%. The majority of high school students (92.5%) suffered from short sleep duration. Compared with male children with a sleep duration of 8-10 h per day, the odds ratios (95% Cl) of overweight/obesity for those with a sleep duration of less than 6 h or 6-8 h, were 1.63 (1.25-2.13) and 1.06 (0.88-1.27), respectively, after adjusting social and demographic status, mental health and lifestyle factors, while for female children, the odds ratios were 1.38 (0.99-1.93) and 1.04 (0.79-1.35), respectively. A large number of adolescents suffered from short sleep duration. Short sleep duration is associated with higher odds of overweight/obesity in male children.
