Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness and explore the associated factors in university teachers and staffs in Kunming.Methods Epworth sleepiness scale was used as the tool of diagnosis. We consecutively collected the data of teachers and staffs on duty in Yunnan Nationalities University,Yunnan Agricultural University,Yunnan Normal University,Kunming Medical University and Yunnan University of Finance and Economics within 8 months.Results The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness in university teachers and staffs was 12.45%, the prevalence of male was 16.82% and female was 7.70%, respectively. The results of Logistic regression showed that the main associated factors of excessive daytime sleepiness were male (OR=1.898),age (30 years and less was as control group,the ORs of 31-40 year group, 41-50 years group and more than 51 years group were 1.480, 2.366 and 2.719, respectively), family history of snoring (OR=3.371), consumption sedative (OR=1.815), memory failing (OR=2.044), dizzy and feeble (OR=2. 076),choking (OR=2.143),report apnea (OR=2.684),etc. Conclusions The prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness is high in the university teachers and staffs that can partially represent the residents of Kunming city. The associated factors of excessive daytime sleepiness hint that excessive daytime sleepiness may be caused by sleep apnea/hyperpnoea syndrome in the sample population,hence the people with excessive sleepiness need further sleep monitoring .
