Abstract

Purpose: Several studies showed that shortened sleep duration and subsequent sleep debt are related to obesity risk in children. We evaluated the association between habitual sleep restriction and eating behavior in school-aged children with and without obesity.

Patients and methods: In 131 school-aged children (mean [±SD] age 10.2 ± 2.0 years), we assessed eating behavior through the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ). Actigraphic recordings measured sleep patterns for 4 consecutive days, including a weekend day. CEBQ scores were calculated in sleep-restricted children (having a nighttime sleep duration <8 hours) during week and weekend days and compared for those with (n = 67) and without obesity (n = 64). CEBQ scores were also compared between children with and without sleep compensation (a weekend catch-up in sleep duration ≥1 hour compared to weekdays' sleep duration).

Results: The mean sleep duration was 8.0 ± 1.3 h, and about 70% of children slept less than the daily sleep recommendation. Children having sleep restriction had higher scores in the four CEBQ pro-ingestion dimensions (all P<0.021) as well as lower "satiety responsiveness" but higher "emotional undereating" scores (both P<0.049). No differences in CEBQ were found in the normal-weight group when comparing children with or without sleep restriction. In the group with obesity, however, those sleep-restricted showed lower ratings in "slowness of eating" (P<0.015), "satiety responsiveness", and "food fussiness" (both P<0.035) compared to non-restricted, particularly during weekend days. Finally, children showing no sleep compensation on weekend days had higher pro-ingestion (all P<0.020) and lower anti-ingestion scores (all P<0.041).

Conclusion: Sleep duration was lower than the recommended sleep in this sample of school-aged children. Sleep restriction was associated with enhanced pro-ingestion eating behavior scores and reduced anti-ingestion scores. Sleep compensation appears to have a positive effect on eating behavior scores.

睡眠限制和周末睡眠补偿与学龄儿童饮食行为的关系。

目的：几项研究表明，睡眠时间缩短和随之而来的睡眠债务与儿童肥胖风险有关。我们评估了有和没有肥胖的学龄儿童的习惯性睡眠限制和饮食行为之间的关系。患者和方法：131名学龄儿童（平均[±SD]年龄10.2±2.0岁）通过儿童饮食行为问卷（CEBQ）评估饮食行为。活动记录仪记录了连续4天的睡眠模式，包括一个周末。结果：平均睡眠时间为8.0±1.3小时，约70%的儿童睡眠时间低于每日推荐睡眠时间。睡眠不足的儿童在CEBQ促摄入的四个维度上得分较高（均为ppppppp）。结论：该样本中学龄儿童的睡眠时间低于推荐睡眠时间。睡眠限制与促摄取饮食行为得分提高和反摄取得分降低有关。睡眠补偿似乎对饮食行为得分有积极影响。

期刊介绍： Nature and Science of Sleep is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal covering all aspects of sleep science and sleep medicine, including the neurophysiology and functions of sleep, the genetics of sleep, sleep and society, biological rhythms, dreaming, sleep disorders and therapy, and strategies to optimize healthy sleep. Specific topics covered in the journal include: The functions of sleep in humans and other animals Physiological and neurophysiological changes with sleep The genetics of sleep and sleep differences The neurotransmitters, receptors and pathways involved in controlling both sleep and wakefulness Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at improving sleep, and improving wakefulness Sleep changes with development and with age Sleep and reproduction (e.g., changes across the menstrual cycle, with pregnancy and menopause) The science and nature of dreams Sleep disorders Impact of sleep and sleep disorders on health, daytime function and quality of life Sleep problems secondary to clinical disorders Interaction of society with sleep (e.g., consequences of shift work, occupational health, public health) The microbiome and sleep Chronotherapy Impact of circadian rhythms on sleep, physiology, cognition and health Mechanisms controlling circadian rhythms, centrally and peripherally Impact of circadian rhythm disruptions (including night shift work, jet lag and social jet lag) on sleep, physiology, cognition and health Behavioral and pharmacological interventions aimed at reducing adverse effects of circadian-related sleep disruption Assessment of technologies and biomarkers for measuring sleep and/or circadian rhythms Epigenetic markers of sleep or circadian disruption.
