Sleep characteristics and health-related quality of life in 9- to 11-year-old children from 12 countries

Abstract: Previous studies have linked short sleep duration, poor sleep quality, and late sleep timing with lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children. However, almost all studies relied solely on selfreported sleep information and most were conducted in high income countries. To address these gaps, we studied both device-measured and self-reported sleep characteristics in relation to HRQoL in a sample of children from 12 countries that vary widely in terms of economic and human development.

“…Concerning sleep, short sleepers had lower scores of HRQoL compared to healthy sleepers in the present study. This finding is similar to other studies with adolescent samples [ 9 , 23 , 36 ]. Sleep is an important behavior for many body systems, and poor sleep has been associated with impaired emotional regulation and cognitive performance [ 18 ], which can be a pathway that at least partly explains the relationship with HRQoL.…”

“…In relation to sleep, a previous study with 9–11-year-olds from 12 countries also found no association between accelerometer-measured sleep indicators with HRQoL assessed with the Kidscreen 10 [ 36 ]. Concerning sleep, short sleepers had lower scores of HRQoL compared to healthy sleepers in the present study.…”

“…However, there is a lack in the literature of these associations in young children. A recently published study of 9–11-year-old children in 12 countries reveals that self-reported poor sleep in children is associated with low HRQoL, but it found no associations between device-based measured sleep and HRQoL [ 13 ]. Magee et al [ 14 ] report in an Australian cohort study that disordered sleep and minor sleep disturbance in 10- and 11-year-old children relate to poorer HRQoL, which worsen over time.…”

“…A recent study reported that young adults’ sleep quality is more closely associated with mental and physical health than their chronotype or sleep duration ( 42 ) . It was also reported that lower self-reported sleep quantity and quality were associated with poor HRQoL in children, but device-measured sleep characteristics were not ( 43 ) . However, although elderly subjects with a late midpoint of sleep had higher sleep scores, indicating poor sleep quality, a late midpoint of sleep was associated only with low GH on the SF-36 in the present study.…”
