Abstract

Background: The burden of obesity-related, non-communicable diseases in South Africa is persistent, with poor and black South African women particularly vulnerable. The purpose of the present study was to determine relationships between obesity, physical activity, sleep patterns and beverage consumption among black South African women in a rural village in the Limpopo province.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 rural-dwelling African women. Data were collected on beverage consumption, sociodemographic information, sleep patterns and anthropometry using self-reported questionnaires.

Results: The mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.5±7.3 kg/m2, with 40% being classified as obese (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) and the mean sleep score was 4.68±2.51. Participants with very bad habitual sleeping patterns consumed significantly more sugar-sweetened beverages and alcohol than those with very good sleeping patterns. We also observed that when total coffee with sugar, fruit juice, total sugar-sweetened beverages and weight decreased the number of hours participants slept increased.

Conclusions: The study identified significant associations between body weight, sleep duration and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption among rural black South African women. This underscores a need to address unhealthy lifestyle behaviours to lower incidences of non-communicable diseases in rural-dwelling women.

非洲农村妇女的肥胖、饮料消费和睡眠模式与这些饮料广告的关系。

背景：在南非，与肥胖相关的非传染性疾病的负担持续存在，贫困的南非黑人妇女尤其容易受到影响。本研究旨在确定林波波省一个农村地区南非黑人妇女的肥胖、体力活动、睡眠模式和饮料消费之间的关系：方法：对 200 名居住在农村的非洲妇女进行了横断面研究。方法：对 200 名居住在农村的非洲妇女进行了横断面研究，通过自我报告问卷收集了有关饮料消费、社会人口信息、睡眠模式和人体测量的数据：平均体重指数（BMI）为 28.5±7.3 kg/m2，其中 40% 属于肥胖（BMI ≥30 kg/m2），平均睡眠评分为 4.68±2.51。习惯性睡眠模式很差的参与者比习惯性睡眠模式很好的参与者摄入更多的含糖饮料和酒精。我们还观察到，当含糖咖啡、果汁、含糖饮料总量和体重下降时，参与者的睡眠时间也会增加：这项研究发现，南非农村黑人妇女的体重、睡眠时间和含糖饮料的摄入量之间存在明显的关联。这突出表明，有必要解决不健康的生活方式行为问题，以降低农村妇女的非传染性疾病发病率。
