Abstract

Objective: to describe the sleep habits in a population of 8-to-12-year-old school children, and to study the influence of sociodemographical factors and sleep habits upon excess weight and obesity.
Method: a descriptive transversal study in 8-to-12-year-old boys and girls, attending from 3rd to 6th term of Primary Education (PE), at the La Mina de Sant Adrià de Besòs neighbourhood in Barcelona. Data collection: Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ). The BMI rate was calculated according to growth curves and tables by Orbegozo. Data treatment: hypothesis contrast tests (Chi Square, Mann-Whitney’s U-Test, and Kruskall Wallis).
Results: the study included 337 boys and girls; 4.2% of them had excess weight, and 23.7% suffered obesity. From those school children with normal weight, 55.9% were usually ready to go to sleep, unlike the 42.5% who presented obesity (p= 0.02). 29.5% stayed awake in bed while their parents believed they were sleeping; the rate increased for latter terms (p= 0.03), for boys (p= 0.01) and for those with obesity (p= 0.04). There was a statistically significant difference between schools and the score in the dimension associated with sleep disorders and the total score for the sum of all dimensions (p< 0.01); there were better scores in the private school with public funding.
Conclusions: older school-children and girls presented better sleep habits. According to the scores from the CSHQ, those attending the private school with public funding showed better sleep habits. Schoolchildren with normal weight have better sleep habits.
