“…The majority of studies using the SDSC scale have identified an association between sleep breathing disorders and pathological conditions, a finding replicated in our HIVinfected population. In a study involving Brazilian children, a prevalence of sleep breathing disorders of 55% was found in a population seen at a clinical laboratory of a public pediatric hospital 21 . This prevalence was considered high compared to the international literature, a finding speculatively attributed by the authors to respiratory diseases secondary to environmental factors.…”

With regard to healthy adolescents, a number of recent studies carried out in Brazil have shown high prevalence of sleep disturbances in children and adolescents, associated with both clinical aspects and lifestyle, such as poor sleep hygiene and sleep deprivation 12,13,21 . Additionally, the adolescents in the Control Group, drawn from users of public schools in large urban centers, had very similar social indicators to those infected by HIV, which could reflect comparable living conditions.…”

“…Em estudo realizado com escolares de um município da Paraíba, identificou-se a prevalência de DRS (10%) e HS (15%) na população analisada (Souza & Tomaz, 2017), diante destes dados, pesquisa realizada com crianças paulistas identificou a presença de DRS e HS, sendo o DRS mais preponderante (Potasz et al, 2010). No presente estudo, a DRS também foi o distúrbio de sono mais frequente entre os participantes e a HS o menos prevalente.…”
