Abstract

Objectives

This study aims to investigate the relationship between sleep quality (measured by The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index—PSQI), body mass index (BMI), and obesity status, and to explore whether metabolic factors (e.g., fasting glucose, triglycerides, and high-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) influence this association in elderly outpatients.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 404 elderly people at Thai Binh Medical University Hospital, Vietnam from October 2023 to June 2024. Adults who were 60 years and older underwent outpatient evaluations and biochemical blood tests and were recruited through convenience sampling. Sleep quality was self-reported (PSQI), whereas BMI and biochemical markers were measured.

Results

The average PSQI score was 11.00 ± 2.68, and the average BMI was 22.56 ± 2.36. The older adults with normal sleep quality had a significantly higher BMI than those with poor sleep quality (p < 0.05). The obesity rate was 13.1%, while metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 36.4% of participants. Logistic regression revealed that higher education levels were associated with increased odds of poor sleep quality compared to those with primary education and lower. There was no association between sleep quality, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.

Conclusions

The study revealed that education level and BMI significantly affected sleep quality; however, no association was found between sleep quality and obesity or metabolic syndrome in older adults. Improving sleep habits should be considered in the weight management of the elderly.

老年门诊患者睡眠质量、肥胖及生化指标的关系探讨

本研究旨在探讨老年门诊患者睡眠质量（匹兹堡睡眠质量指数- psqi）、体重指数（BMI）与肥胖状况之间的关系，并探讨代谢因素（如空腹血糖、甘油三酯和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇）是否影响这一关联。方法对2023年10月至2024年6月在越南泰平医科大学医院住院的404例老年人进行横断面研究。60岁及以上的成年人接受门诊评估和血液生化测试，并通过方便抽样招募。睡眠质量是自我报告的（PSQI），而BMI和生化指标是测量的。结果PSQI评分平均为11.00±2.68，BMI评分平均为22.56±2.36。睡眠质量正常的老年人BMI明显高于睡眠质量差的老年人（p < 0.05）。肥胖率为13.1%，而代谢综合征的诊断率为36.4%。逻辑回归显示，与小学及以下学历的人相比，高等教育水平的人睡眠质量差的几率更高。睡眠质量、肥胖和代谢综合征之间没有关联。结论受教育程度和BMI对睡眠质量有显著影响；然而，老年人的睡眠质量与肥胖或代谢综合征之间没有关联。老年人的体重管理应考虑改善睡眠习惯。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association. The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field. The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology. Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification. The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
