Abstract:
Background:The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the consumption frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages including soda and sweet drinks and sleep duration and quality among Korean adolescents.
Methods:Data on 137,101 boys and 130,806 girls of students in middle and high school were obtained from the 2014-2017 Korean Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey, a national-wide cross-sectional school-based survey. Respondents self-reported soda and sweet drinks consumption, sleep hours, and sleep quality. The associations between these variables were analyzed by complex sampling multivariate logistic regression analysis.
Results:76.4% and 84.7% of respondents consumed soda and sweet drinks at least one time per week. Sleep deprivation (<8 hours/day) was associated with higher soda and sweet drinks consumption (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 95% confidence interval [CI]) for 5 times a week for soda 1.44 (1.33-1.59) in boys and 1.25 (1.12-1.40) in girls: and sweet drinks 1.54 (1.43-1.66) in boys and 1.41 (1.28-1.55) in girls. Similarly, unsatisfactory sleep quality was also associated with higher soda and sweet drinks consumption (aOR, 95% CI) for 5 times a week for soda 1.19 (1.13-1.26) in boys and 1.27 (1.19-1.35) in girls: and sweet drinks 1.36 (1.29-1.44) in boys and 1.34 (1.28-1.41) in girls.
Conclusions:Both sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality was associated with higher consumption of soda and sweet drinks among Korean adolescents.
