Association Between Obesity and Sleep Problems in Adolescents |Biomedgrid

Body mass index (BMI), and waist and hip circumferences were measured in 90 adolescents aged 15-18. Participants were stratified into overweight/obesity group (BMI percentile≥85%) and control group (BMI percentile <85%) per the CDC growth chart. Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire (PSQ) was used to assess SRBD symptoms, including snoring, daytime sleepiness and hyperactive behavior (Figure 1). Participant‘s early life stress was assessed using the Childhood Trust Events Survey. Blood samples were collected for measuring the inflammatory factors.
