Abstract

Objective: To examine whether body mass index (BMI), sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness differed by ADHD diagnostic status, and to investigate the role of sleep duration and daytime sleepiness in the ADHD-BMI relationship.

Participants: Participants were 72,040 18-25-year-old respondents to the American College Health Association National College Health Assessment III (ACHA-NCHA III).

Method: Welch's t-tests and a serial mediation model were conducted.

Results: College students with ADHD (vs. without) reported significantly higher BMIs (t = -6.81, p < .001), shorter sleep duration (t = 9.31, p < .001), and more days experiencing excessive daytime sleepiness (t = -9.60, p < .001). Sleep duration and daytime sleepiness served as partial serial mediators of the ADHD-BMI relationship (p's of direct and indirect effects < .05).

Conclusion: Sleep duration and quality may be promising targets for weight-related interventions, especially among college students with ADHD who are at an increased risk of higher weight status and sleep disturbances.

大学生的注意力缺陷/多动障碍、睡眠障碍和体重指数。

目的：探讨体重指数（BMI）、睡眠时间和日间嗜睡是否因ADHD诊断状态而异，探讨睡眠时间和日间嗜睡在ADHD-BMI关系中的作用。参与者：参与者是72,040名18-25岁的美国大学健康协会全国大学健康评估III （aca - ncha III）的受访者。方法：采用Welch’st检验和序列中介模型。结果：有注意力缺陷多动障碍的大学生（与没有注意力缺陷多动障碍的大学生相比）报告了更高的bmi （t = -6.81, p = 9.31, p = -9.60, p =间接和直接影响）。结论：睡眠时间和质量可能是体重相关干预的有希望的目标，特别是在有注意力缺陷多动障碍的大学生中，他们的体重状况和睡眠障碍的风险增加。
